I met Jack approx. a year or so before he passed . He greeted me warmly when we met and we talked for a while . As I was getting ready to leave he called me over and took my hand and told me he was very glad to have met me and to come back anytime . He then very gently and sweetly kissed my hand . This touched me deeply as he was in failing health yet he took the time to warmly welcome me to his home and to make sure I was comfortable . I truely never met such a gracious person.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Geri and Jacks entire family ! RIP Jac
Bill and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Gerri(mom) and family on the loss of Jack. We have very fond memories when you both visited us in Delaware as well as our visits to your home. We love you RIP Jack.
