Sad to hear the news about Jack. He was a great guy. He let me live with him and Dave T. one summer in Muscatine. If I remember correctly, that is when he met Bambi. We can a learn from his personality – don’t get stressed out and take things as they come and enjoy life. In my prayers.

My condolences to Jack’s family on his passing. I went to school with Jack at Cardinal Stritch and he was a very nice person to be around. We had a lot of great times together in school and he will be missed.
