Mrs. Corbitt, Jeannine and John,

I was very sad when I read about about Mr. Corbitt. Although the time you spent with our family was many many years ago I do remember that there was a special bond there. I hope you all are doing well and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I just e-mailed my mom this morning to let her know, I know she will be thinking of you.

Uncle Jack pulling Sean's Ear 1999

I will surely miss my Uncle Jack! From his visits to the house @ 11 North with Jeannette and his comments on my lovely "birdsnests" (the clump of hair on my head after twirling it for about 4 hrs when I was a kid), to his ear pulls until they turned bright red, to a wonderful day of golf in Ireland with him and Johnny.
"Give the Big Man an ear pull for us, maybe he'll give you an extra mulligan." I love you and will miss you! Eddie

The picture is Uncle Jack pulling my son Sean's ear back in 1999 at Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary.
