I am sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I knew him because I worked with his wife at Atwood's for many years. I saw him at many of the functions we all attended not directly related to work such as picnics and children's Christmas parties. I am praying that God gives Jack's family peace at this time and in the future. I cannot attend the funeral Wednesday because of a doctor appointment. God bless you all.

Judy I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Take comfort in all the good memories. Please let us know if we can be of any help now or in the future. He was a good man and friend to us in the past. Take care and remember we are only a call away.

My sister and I are so saddened to hear of Jack's passing. I knew he felt so comforted when you were by his side. You were a tremendous blessing to him during his struggles. You were truly the nicest neighbors to mom at Alpine, providing so many laughs. I am sending prayers and sympathy to you and Jan and Michelle and Taylor and all the rest of your family. Peace to you.
