Chris and Ellen,
We wish to express our deepest sympathy to you and the extended Brous Family. Chris, although we did not know your Dad, he was obviously admired by all and his sudden loss at a point in his life when he was settling into Retirement was obviously a shock.
Be assured that our thoughts and prayers are with the two of you and your Family. We will be there for you in any way that we are needed.

Jack was one of the "sunniest" people I've ever known. He brought humor and fun wherever it was needed. My mom adored Jack. He will be missed. My love and deep sympathy to Maureen and the boys.
