I met Jack in kindergarten at Lockwood EUB church over 60 years ago. A kind and gentle soul, he was a friend and neighbor who thought of others first. That's his legacy, sprinkled with humor and trust. So long old friend, from all of us who knew your selfless character, and spirit of hope for others less fortunate.
