Celine and Jack - what a pair! Loved them both. They are having quite a chuckle now I´m sure.

Lots of great memories with Celine and Jack from days gone by. I worked with Jack for years . Memories on the boat on the Illinois River with the 2 of them. Would run into them in Lacon. Stop by the house in Varna. When Jack retired he was the day time bartender at the bar in Utica for Celine. Anytime I would work up that way the trip was never complete without a stop for a drink or 2 and seeing the 2 of them. Always loved them like a Mom and Dad. They are back together. Rest in Peace Celine. Next time I go to a bar I´ll raise a glass to you. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
As Jack would have said "Love you man."
