To Martha, Mike, Betsy & the entire Reney clan:

I will miss Jack. Even though I didn't get the chance to visit with him the last several years, I have many fond memories of regular weekly Friday night get togethers, parties card games and the like at the Reney household in Shrewsbury. Jack was a very good person with a lot of friends.

Please accept my condolances- he was too young to depart us.

My fondest memories of "Johnny" were as a little boy with his glasses on sitting in the way back of the country squire station wagon. We toured around looking at Christmas lights and periodically he would say "lucky ducks" when the house was really decked out. Love you forever Kerry

...standing here watching the snow fall heavy enough on the branches over the river until the branch decides it needs to bend and give way to the weight. I love you Jack. May the four winds blow you safely home.
