Jack, you are like a brother to me and a huge part of my childhood. We had such great times together. You have always brought back great memories of growing up. We always thought the same and talked the same. When you and Penny came out to John Day, it was like we were never apart. Whenever I am thinking of the Mohave Desert I always think of you and what a great shot you were. When we both had Toyota Landcruisers and went hill climbing together, it was such a great time. Your calls on Christmas were always so dear to my heart and I looked forward to them every year. I will cherish the time turkey hunting with you a few years ago; it was like we were back in time and never apart. You and Penny were so good to us. I was hoping we could plan to get together again. With your passing an era is gone but I will never, ever forget you and the good times. Lane, Lynn and I will miss you forever and a day. I hope you have a cold beer in hand. I love you Little Jack.
Your Bro,
LGB
