Jack was a very nice person and I know he loved his family very much. I saw the love that he felt for his sister Nance when she was by his side during cancer surgery and know it extended to the rest of his family. The world lost a great Dad, grandfather, and brother.

Nancy and John's family, you have my sympathies. He will remain in my prayers.
I' m sure he's in heaven with Aunt Dolores and Uncle Bob, as well as his brothers Bob and Jim.
I'll always remember Aunt Dolores and Uncle Bob's dedication to John. Aunt Dolores called him "my Jackie" when he was little. His life seems to me a tribute to their devotion and determination that he would beat the odds against his surviving the heart defect that he was born with. It seemed like the doctors were always saying the odds were against his surviving the next time segment each time he made it through the preceding time segment.
Aunt Dolores and uncle Bob did everything humanly possible to make sure he got the very best medical care and and prayed. I will never forget Aunt Dolores and the Lordes water she put on "her Jackie" as she prayed for a miracle,and I think that her prayers were answered and that his life is a tribute to her and unlce Bob's dedication to him. I will never forget that.

I have many fond memories of Jack, watching movies and his great BBQ. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. I will always cherish the good times I had with him and my mom.

I met Jack through the computer, and we hit it off immediately. We spent everynight talking for hours, except when there was a football game on that he wanted to watch. We would talk about how are days went, about my family and about his family. I felt like i knew them. Jack talked lovingly about his family and how he couldn't wait to see his new granddaughter.
I will remember Jack for his great sence of humor. Jack could always make me laugh, no matter how bad a day I had. But most important I will remember Jack for the love that he showed me. Jack was an amazing and wonderful man and he will always have a special place in my heart. I will never forget him.
To his family, you have my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God bless. Dawn Payne
