Jack was really a one-of-a kind. He lived by the motto "Carpe Diem" - and he didn't just seize the day..he grabbed it and devoured it! He was a great man and a true inspiration - always interested, always learning, and always full of life! If there is a heaven, it just got a whole lot more interesting and fun.
