What a wonderful friend he was to our family member, Dr. Kenneth Shaver! The friendship with Jack and Mary Sitton lasted decades, and the younger members of our family came to love Jack also. We have tried to reach Jack for several months, and we shall all miss him. Please share are sincerest condolences with Jack's family.
