I went to elementary school with Jack. He was a nice guy, always kind and generous to his classmates. I grew up poor and he would frequently share his food and treats with me. He will never know how much that meant to me, especially the
"Big Buddy" gum!
We loved it!

Then after we grew up, I would see him from time to time in town and he was as friendly and kind as ever.

I offer my condolences to his family and friends. He´ll be missed.
Rest in peace, Jack.
