Kenny and Family:
I am so sorry my wife and I were unable to get to the funeral home to bid Jack a final farewell. We had out-of-town company and already had plans. The Broadbents have been present in our lives a long time beginning with Jack and George attending our wedding 57 years ago. I enjoyed playing golf with both you and your Dad over the years. Your Dad was so proud of you and your accomplishments in Steamfitters L.U. #449. My wife felt a special connection to your Dad because they shared the same birth date of October 16th (different years). Again, so sorry we were not there in person to offer our condolences to you and all the Broadbent family.
Sincerely, Tom and Barbara Wiggins
