Jr., Wendy, Brian, Lindsey, Jenna We are so sorry to learn of yet another loss of a loved one for your family. Jack will be missed by many. We will always remeber your Mom and Dad cutting wood on the hillside at our rental house and the interesting conversations that would take place. I know he thought the world of his kids and grand kids and pray you find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and is with the lord now.
