Louise, I recall working for Jack in the early 1960's I think it was summer of 1961. I stayed with you guys on the farm and helped with haying, etc. I remember how patient Jack was with me in the learning process and have always appreciated that. He was a kind and generous man and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. May God bless all of you as you deal with his loss.
