I am terribly saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Jack. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Esther, my cousins and the entire family. Uncle Jack could always make you smile with his quick wit and great stories. He truly enjoyed life and experienced many adventures along the way. He was unbelievably talented and displayed it with his love and mastery of Judo and fly fishing. It always brings a smile to my face when I think of my dad, uncle Bob and uncle Jack acting like schoolboys whenever the three of them would get together. I will miss him very much but he will always be in my thoughts. Rest in Peace .
