Jack holds a very special place in our hearts. He was the watchful eye in our tiny neighborhood. He would spend many hours sitting just inside his garage watching the neighbors come and go and giving them a friendly wave. Jack was the ringleader of a gaggle of neighborly men who scooped snow from neighbors’ driveways who needed help !
He was always willing to help all of us!
Jack made a wonderful ‘grandfather’ to many neighborhood youngsters.
He was just a delightful, witty, caring , kind human being.
You were loved Jack !
Rita, thanks for sharing Jack with us! So grateful our paths crossed. You both are very special to us. I know you and Jack enjoyed the life you shared. Hope your memories bring you some comfort.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Peace and love to you and your family.
Bev and Dottie.
