John and Joan were very good friends of mine growing up as a young man. I later saw them when they moved to Oakland Park . I knew the family Doug Jack's son. He was a wonderful man and will be loved and missed by me we were very close. I miss him very much. I'm sure Doug and Joan will remember me. In loving memory. Shawn Cafiero of Pompano Beach Florida.
