Jack was such a beautiful example of a man who aged with grace. When I talked with him and asked how he was, he would list some ailments, not complaining, and would end with "really doing pretty well". A man who loved his family, his country, and his Catholic Faith. We are having a Mass said for the repose of his soul at the Shrine of St. Therese of the Little Flower. May he rest in peace.
