Our precious, wonderful Jack. What great memories I have of spending time with you and your family. I feel so privlegded and honored to have known such a kind, warm, and fun person who loved spending time with family and friends more than anything. Some of my fondest memories of living in TX are of spending time with you and your family. And let's see, the fixing me up with a few dates wasn't too bad either. You have given so many such wonderful memories and a lot of laughter in the time they spent with you, these will be cherished forever. I am so sad to hear you had to leave us so soon, but I am certain you will be seranaded by Celine Dion everyday. I have missed you and your family since I left TX and will miss you always, you are all forever in my heart.

My sweet dear brother..Who will I call every morning to say Hi..Who will call to say lets go fishing..or call to tell me about the grocery sale ads..Who will be there with a smile that lights the sun...or the shoulder to cry on. Who will be there to help mend a broken heart. Who could ever take your place..You touched so many hearts and lives with the "little" things you did, but meant more then you will ever know. I will miss you but I know you will always be by my side..God bless you little brother..I love you..Jud

Dearest Cinda and family,
My heart goes out to you all at this moment, and may you all find total Peace and Strength and most of all comfort in knowing Jack has been guided gently home to be with our Lord.
Words cannot express my sadness,and I will certainly miss Jack, but there is joy also, in knowing he is at peace. Plus now, he and Peter can be together, as fraternal brothers, hooping it up with each other in our heaven for Moose's
My thoughts and prayers are with you, with all my Love,

What is there to say? Jack emmitted a light every time he walked into a room, dispite his illness. He seemed to not let a thing like cancer slow him down from the things, and the people that he truely adored. Even though Nevaeh knew him for a short time, she really was truely blessed to have such a fine, caring man as her great-papa. We will truely miss him everyday. Please know that you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers, and that Nevaeh is still her for her great-grandma as well. We love you Cinda, and we are here for you every step of the way through your difficult time.
PS- Sherri, how in the world can ANYONE come close to sounding as hearfelt as you?!?!

Jack was one who cared about others, loved his family, loved his fraternal families, and wanted to see others celebrate most any occasion. He was a true and caring friend. Reecie Giesecke, (Waxahachie, Tx.)
