I will remember our good times in California,
Glad you joined our family. Will miss you
our condolences
Knowing you will enjoy Heaven as much as you have enjoyed your short time here on Earth, cuz.
Our memories of Jack start with Mary Lynn’s dad’s dad’s appreciation of Jack’s many talents, especially his interest and knowledge of antiques. Later, Jack became one of the regulars we would talk with at antique auctions. One of our memorable trips included Jack and Myrna in his woody and Dave’s project car to a car show in Aspen! What a crew we were! And not only was Jack talented, but he was very blessed in having Myrna and Dave as his family. May he rest n peace!
