Jack L. Barrick

For my dear Uncle Jack and Cousin Linda K,

Thank you, Jack, for your good humor, love, support for an extended family that has admired/adored you through all your 96 years. I was so sorry to miss Ann's and Peggy's visit with you and Polly, several years ago. My nightly chats with the girls giving me updates, let me know all of the fun I was missing. Alas, the caribbean is long way from Syracuse.

Not surprised that you outlived everyone of your generation, with exception of Polly's famous sister Mary Lou. She is quite a memory, herself!

May your travels to another place give cheer to all those in your presence, and thanks for always touching my life in the most refreshing and positive ways during darker days and the bright ones, too -- as I continue to live a miraculous life of good fortune and happiness.

It would be nice to see Linda Kay and Dave in Puerto Rico, one day soon. We must hurry, as we're not getting any younger, like YOU!

With great admiration, Greg.
