John was an average guy to us at Fort Lauderdale. We enjoyed playing "liars poker" at which he was the best!!

Laurene 7 Family,

Laurene, Kim, Chris, Scott and Family -

We have a lot of fond memories of Jack, particularly centered around the 4th of July and summer in general. He had no idea when he married Laurene that he was marrying the neighborhood! He never seemed to mind that his privacy was at a premium once the nice weather arrived. Our entire family appreciates how selfless and sharing he was -- not only to us, but the community as a whole. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
