THIS IS A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE OF A MANS LIFE THAT WAS FILLED WITH LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP FOR ALL THAT KNEW HIM. WE WILL ALWAYS HOLD HIM DEAR IN OUR HEARTS.
Although I did not know Jack as well as I do Margaret, I know that he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and animal lover. He will certainly be missed by a lot of people, especially from bowling which was his passion. My deepest sympathies to the entire family; my prayers are with you all as you try to deal with this great loss.
