I am so very sorry to hear about Jason's passing. The service was so very beautiful and heartfelt by all that attended. He will be missed probably the most by the pool table at The Library Bar, but also by his very many friends who will continue to go to The Library Bar.

Dear Kay and Bob,
I am so sorry to hear about your son Jason. I did not know Jason, but the few times I spoke to him I on the phone his sense of humor came through over the phones lines. He always would joke that Kay must be goofing off somewhere whenever I could not get her to come to the phone right away. I'll be praying for you both and Jason.

Although a true friend has been lost, the memories I have will not be. Jason had filled my life with excitement and intellectual stimulation, not to mention always giving me a challenging game of pocket billiards, all of which I will greatly miss. Peace be with the Kuntz family during this time.
