I will miss you! Uncle Jack...I moved back to the city about 8 years ago. I ran into Uncle Jack all over the city. It was usually waiting for or on the bus so the conversations were normally brief. No matter I will definitely miss them. Then there are all the stories told by my father and friends, Legendary. You will always hold a special place in my heart!

By the way Patches and I are getting along great!
