Jack was a friend who inspired us to serve others, to be kind, and to trust God. Rest in Peace Jack. You will be missed ❤️
Jack poured into me at times when I needed a wise word. He always had a kind word, a great smile, the occasional joke and many a great story. Without doubt, he played a big part in the life I enjoy now. I am forever grateful that God had our paths cross. He blessed me so. May God grant comfort, peace and fond memories to Jack’s family and friends during this time.
Thanks for the memories Jack. I’ll miss the lunches we had together and most of all, the laughter…. what great times. Prayers for your family going forward.
