Remembering back to both of us shooting baskets at the low ceiling gym of St. Monica's and your mom serving us her delicious brownies on 27th Ave. What great times. Rest in peace my friend.

I'm sorry to hear about Jack. I worded for him after transferring from First American San Francisco in 2001. He was great to work for.
My condolences to his family.
