I remember spending time Durning the summer at the farm when we were kids. We ate a lot of sweet corn and laughed and played most of the day. I remember getting up early to help Jack go milk the neighbors' cows. So sorry to hear about your loss, Mike Phelan

I don´t remember this but my folks used to tell that when I was a toddler, I fell into the gold fish pond in our backyard. My cousin, Jack, pulled me out. All I remember is the 2 round things in the ground that were flower gardens.
Later when I was staying out at the farm and Jack & I were sitting on the orange tractor as a thunderstorm was approaching, Jack was telling me how the tires on the tractor would insulate us from the lighting. When a bolt hit the neighbors house, we headed for cover.
When he was at the dealership, he was always helpful to our folks when dealing with automobile things.
Jack´s 1st wedding was the 1st Catholic wedding I went to. I´m truly sorry for missing the knowledge of his passing and pray that you all have had the "peace that passes all understanding" during this time.
