Uncle Jack will be missed. He shared family photos and sent me lovely pictures of my mother and grandparents which I treasure. He had a great sense of humor and one time told me that he said to his wife Sue - "I wonder how the Konowalski family is doing?" and she said I have a great idea - why not pick up the phone and find out? Brilliant! he said and then gave me a call. He encouraged regular exercise and even water aerobics which he was hesitant to try but then found out he really enjoyed. We will miss you Uncle Jack. Cathy Geimer (Konowalski) niece.
