Audrey, Kim, Hal and Tyler
It may have been a long time ago but it seems like yesterday. Time seems to stand still when you want it to
but what you and Jack have done to help our dad, our family and others has always been an unmeasureable and generous act. Life holds great things for people like your family. I know my dad, Ken, is welcoming Jack with open arms and they will take care of each other. Remember, it's always the quality of time that you spend with someone that matters and love and family will help you all through this very difficult time. Heartfelt sympathy to all, Love Jackie Walsh (Howling) God Bless!

Audrey, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. I am sure we will all meet again and attend the big meeting in the sky, and renew old friendships, where Jack is already attending and keeping seats open for all of us who were fortunate enough to know him and his wisdom.

Jack lives on in the lives of so many of us who are alive today in a large part because of him and Aundrey. Many of us live a life we never dreamed possible thanks in part to Jack. I will miss Jack very much. But I will also see Jack in the lives of hundreds of people who will carry on his work. God bless you Jack and Audrey.

Rest in Peace, Jack. You and Audrey have made a profound contribution to a large number of people. You made us all realize that we can all be violins, if only willing to be played by the Master.
