I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Was blessed to live next door to him for over 10 years. I loved that he never ceased to laugh at the carrying on our dogs would have "running the fence" together. He would patiently listen to whatever one of my kids wanted to tell him. Such a wonderful man.

What a wonderful man. His love for life and his family was obvious. When he smiled no one was incapable of smiling back. My sympathy to his family. The sun lost one bright ray of sunshine, but the heavens gained a brilliant star.
