Requiescat in Pace.
Jack will be missed by myself and my wife, he and I both attended St. Thomas and Jack would always tell me he was going to make me an egg sandwich for the Good Ol’ Boys Luncheon, but he never did. We had many good laughs over this. He was a good man and a good friend whom we shall miss very much ! I know Jack is no longer in pain, but we cannot help but wish he were still with us. May his soul rest in peace.
