    Jack and Helen were wonderful neighbors here in Keagler Estates. We missed Helen when she left us but always enjoyed Jack's visits when he was alone. He was always kind and thoughtful to us. When he left Steubenville, we missed him alot and didn't get to keep in touch with him. We were so sorry to learn of his passing. Our prayers are with all of you.
