Dear LeeAnne, Amy and family,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I am sure he is enjoying his reunion with your Mother, who was my bestest friend in High School, and they are both at peace in the arms of our Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

On behalf of the West High School Alumni Association, I send our condolences to Jack's family. It is always a sad day when we lose an alum, especially one who made the extra effort to become an officer in the Association and who participated in the Alumni Band.
We will list Jack's passing in the next quarterly edition of the Alumni newsletter so his West High family and friends will also be aware of his passing.
