Jack was a true gentleman, always kind, he never had a bad thing to say about anyone, he lived an interesting life and was loved by everyone he met. We will miss his life stories in the Volunteer Office, I will cherish the Christmas Tree he made me! Thank you Robin for bringing Jack to visit us each week and thank you Bonnie for bringing Jack to volunteer with us! I am blessed to have known such a wonderful man.
