Our sincere sympathy to Sally and the family. Jack is the man who brought us to South Sioux City. I learned a lot from him and appreciate the time I got to work with him. I considered him a friend and wish we could have had many more lunches together. I didn't call and talk with him enough. He will be missed. I'm sorry we are now out of the state and will be unable to attend services. We will be there in thought.
