Dear Valerie, Andy, Doreen & family,
My deepest sympathy. The Tomich family had many fond memories of Mr. Haviland, and he was very much respected for his service to the community of Baldwin Township/Rolling Hills.
May his memory be eternal+

Doreen,Valerie,Andy,Mindy,Michael & All, When I think of Jack, I picture that summer day when your mom & he just got married. They had just picked up "Coppy"-the sweet beagle puppy named for Angie's handsome man in uniform. I remember how happy they were...smiling & so in love. I also think of Jack in his garden,his personal heaven-like my mum. He was always busy,hardworking-but enjoyed the fruits of his labor. He had a beautiful smile & was blessed to have had such a loving family...just as you were blessed by him. I will pray that your faith will sustain you during this sad time & your memories will bring you comfort.

Dear Valerie,Andy,Doreen and Children,
We're so sorry to learn of your Father's passing. Three days ago I was explaining how we used Jack's old police hats to direct Pearce and Dewalt traffic at rush hour. He will always remain in my childhood memories along with your mom. You're all in my prayers.
