How we have enjoyed visiting with the Layne's grandparents for the past 9 years, at the South Oldham baseball games. We had been praying for you this summer, knowing how ill Jack was. May the Lord sustain you and give you peace, as you now go on without him.

My sympathies to the Jonas family. I have many fond memories of working with Jack at Capital City. Jack was a real piece of work and had a terrific sense of humor. He made me laugh every day. I will always remember that about Jack.
