Connie and family, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about Jack's passing. I had only met him a few times over the years, in Sioux City, but have heard many funny stories from my dad, Harold Bruce.(I am Harry & Angie's youngest daughter) I'd like to tell you how much Jack meant to my dad-he was like a big brother and a great role model for him to grow up with, but mostly someone he deeply loved and respected. From the times I did meet Jack and from those stories my dad shared, I truly believe Jack was a hero-having survived the war, but also a caring and loving man. Again, I extend my sympathies and prayers to you all.

"Uncle Jack" was my favorite uncle. I have such great memories of when I was growing up and Uncle Jack would come visit us. He always made it a point to spend time with his neices and nephews. Such a kind person - he will be missed. My sincerest condolences go out to all in his loving family.
