Irene, My thoughts and prayers go to you. I am one of the "younger cousins" and I will never forget Jack. He was so kind and gentle to me. I even announced that when I grew up (age of 4 maybe?) I was going to marry Jack. But I think he found a much better partner!!. Aunt Loretta Hedman sends her love to you too. God Bless Julie Baumann Rohlik

Dear Irene and Peter,
We are so sorry for your loss. We have many fond memories of our years together as neighbors. We will always remember Jack's sense of humor. There is a happy reunion in Heaven with our loved ones from Milky Way.
With deepest sympathy,

Jack was the TOUGH GUY COUSIN that I always remembered. He offered my Dad a kidney in 1965. That showed even at that young age some of his character.
I never got that Canada fishing trip with Jack that I always wanted to do.
My prayers are with you all.

Irene,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family on the passing of Jack. He and I grew up as cousins and saw each other whenever our parents decided to meet. I always had a high regard for him. Know that he is preparing a place for us in heaven.
With our deepest condolences,

Dear Irene and Peter,
My prayers and sympathy are with you as you mourn Jack's loss. He's the one who let me smoke my one and only cigarette. My brothers and sisters all went to tattle to our parents when they found us out in the grove at our farm.
We had great times playing as children with our double first cousins. It was always fun to see you come back to Minnesota for visits all these years.
