Jack will always hold a special place in my heart. Such good times welcoming Joe and I to his and Pat's home that we decided to move from Jersey to Pa. Never regretted that move. Jack was responsible for me getting my first tattoo at Barnesville Beer Fest. He was always fun to be around. I have lost a good friend. I will be seeing you down the road in a while.
