Just last week, I was visiting with my dad (Pete Crouse) and he was remembering a time when Jack flew him somewhere in northern Ohio to pick up some golf clubs. They landed (with permission) on the fairway of the golf course "and left a heck of a divot." I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and want you to know that even after all these years, the Crouse family is remembering him fondly.

Kevin, Tim and Scott,
Words always fall short, but I am sorry for your loss and praying for your comfort. From the other side of the sky, I know it's was a glorious day in heaven when your dad joined loved ones and friends who have gone on before.
