Dear Linda, Matt and Mark,
Please accept our condolences. Sending love, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Jack was a great-co worker, neighbor and friend. Tim and I also enjoyed all the fun times gambling and hanging out in the pool in Fort Myers.
Sincerely Tim and Fran.

Pappa Bear is what I think of when thinking of Jack. We worked together at PCA and he always was such a hoot to be around.
Linda and family, my heart goes out to you all. He was an awesome person . xoxo
