All I can think is Mom and Dad are a twosome again. They were together forever and May always spoke so highly of Jack.

I knew Jack very well when we both worked at the Land Titles Office in the 1970's. Jack was very knowledgeble and was always willing to share that knowledge with his colleagues and members of the public. He was a kind gentleman and will be missed by all.
