Dianne and Amanda,
I talked to my dad today and he told me that Jack had passed away, which is very sad news. Tom and I would run into him now and then, most recently at BJs Wholesale about a year ago. He was always so friendly and my favorite memories are those of Christmas at Mom and Dad's where family and friends would gather, and we looked forward to seeing you and Jack there with Amanda. Time passes and things happen, good and bad, but I think it's the good things we remember best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Dear Jarrell Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Jack a few years ago at Innovative. He was a very, very nice person and fun to work with - he was my smoking buddy. He will be missed.

Diane and Amanda, As I sit by my window overlooking "your house", I know that the graveside service is going on. This makes me very sad. We will remember the good times: parties, picnics, Trick or Treat night, dogs. Try to remember the same. Our prayers are with you all, and especially Jack.

Jarrell Family,
We were stunned to read about Jack,s passing in the morning call on Saturday.My twin brother and i graduated with Jack from William Allen in 1963.We saw him at class reunions over the years and exchanged normal small talk about past times. We saw him at St Stephens church about a year ago and thought all was fine.Anyway you have our deepest sympathy at a time of great loss. Rick, Rob Wetzel.

Dear Dianne and Amanda,
I was so sorry to learn of Jack's passing. I remember him well as one of the Inner Rhythms dads when Amanda danced with my daughter,Marisa Henriquez. I am hoping that knowing he is in the arms of Jesus combined with the fond memories you have of him help you through this difficult time.

Dear Jarrell Family,
I was truly shocked to see of my cousin
Jack's passing. I spoke with him awhile
ago, and he had said to me he had a medi-
cal problem that he had hoped everything
would turn-out good. I think he had mentioned it was some kind of blood condition. I hope my old mind got it right! Well, he lost his battle, and can
rest in God's hands. Let me extend our
condolences at this time. My husband
Bruce graduated with Jack, and was always
asked to go to the school reunion. But,
Bruce never went, even though Jack thought we should!
Well, once again we want to extend our
deepest sympathy and hope you all get
through this time.
Sincerely, Jane "Miller" Heimbach

My deepest sympathies to the family. Time does fly when you loose a loved one, as it will be 3 years already in January for my mom, Joyce, Jacks cousin. May it always comfort you, as I am comforted, to know that they are at peace, and in a much better place.

Dianne, Amanda,Nessa,Jillian,
May God help you through this time of sorrow. Jack was a great man, not perfect, but a good friend and boss. May he rest in peace and may you find peace in the knowledge that he was a Christian and is now present with the Lord.
