Dear Midge and family,
We are saddened for you and your family at this time. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Jack had so much love, support, and prayers from such a loving family and a wonderful devoted wife and caregiver. He is now free of pain and at peace.

Our sincerest and deepest sympathy to you Aunt Midge and cousins Mark, Jeff and Joyce plus the entire Hess family on the loss of a gentle, kind man. In all of the years that we've known Jack, we never saw him any other way than being a very complete gentleman with nothing but kind words. Being large in stature, I always viewed him as a gentle giant. I am sure he will be missed by all of you. He was a large important part of all of your lives! God has welcomed him to His house! Love to all of you!
