Jack was awesome! Loved by many. I remember a day on Venice Beach CA. He was showing me his fanny pack ~ pistol holder & how quickly could pull it. He trusted me to keep an eye on Diane's best interests. He asked me about Mark. I told him it would be impossible to do better. Jack & Thyra were great folks to have known. Thyra told me how good the Arizona Opry was & I visited that this year. I'll never forget either of them.
