I heard the news this morning about Jack. He was a great man. I worked as a bookkeeper for him when he owned Blackjack's many years ago. He sent me a note of encouragement when I had cancer 7 yrs ago. I was touched by his kindness. Condolences and prayers for the family.. I am so sorry for your sadness... May the Lord's presence be by your side and with your family, Jack. God bless you, friend.
