My heart goes out to Karen and Jakes family and friends. What a great guy. He made it fun to be working with him at Sisters Hospital. A real jokester. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by many. He's probably either dancing, or back to his golfing in heaven, as I write this. God Bless Jake

Dear Aunt Pauline and family,



My heart goes out to you all on the loss of Uncle Jack.



What a fun-loving Uncle he was. Who in this family was not a target to his flicks? He got such a kick out of that! Remember the talent shows we put on in your basement on Keller? The many times I babysat the kids when we were all many years younger?



And the hours and hours of holiday music he played at the Golba Christmas get togethers at Croation Hall. How he always helped Santa give out the gifts.



Uncle Jack loved to dance and he kicked up his heels at the Legion many a night. And oh how he enjoyed himself at the many wedding celebrations we had. He had such a good time.



Uncle Jack will truly be missed and I pray The Lord gives you all the strength need to get you through day by day.



Love

Yvonne Golba-Garrity
