Jenny, I was very sorry to hear about Jack. I did not get the news until after you had the visitation, or I would have been there. You and Jack were always so good to me when I was a little girl. I liked coming "across the street" for a visit. He will be missed. Love, Amy "Roma" Sacre

Jenny and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. We will always remember Jack as a loving and generous man - a true gentleman. Mom always worried so about Jack's health, but I'm sure she's not worried now since he is celebrating with Dad and her as I write these words. Love, Ronda, Tim, and Kristin

we are so sdorry for your loss. Jack had a great influence on Carl when he had his heart surgery. By being able to see how active Jack was after his surgeries made Carl more determined to be able to do the same.Jack had a lot of influence on a lot of people,he cared for everyone and never tried to hide his feelings. He will be greatly missed by this family.
