Jack,

I'm am so saddened hearing that you are no longer with us. I miss our conversations since I moved out of the city several years ago but have always enjoyed your company hanging out in Juniata and 6 years ago at the bar. I know that you were going through trying times and I appreciate you sharing them with me and our endless talks.

May you be at peace and find happiness on the other side. You will be missed.
