Yesterday
So many fond and wonderful memories with Jack over the past 35+ years. Golf games, after golf parties, Nav-a-Gator, Birthday and St Patty´s Day parties. Always with a smile on his face, a warm embrace to say hello and a wonderful story teller- so many stories!

Dear Adrienne and family,
We have so many fond memories of Jack through the years, Buffalo and Florida.
He was so versed in any subject and very witty and quick with a response.
May the heavens appreciate you as much as we all did. God Bless You.
