    Barb, Devon, & Nikki, I am so sorry to learn of Jack's passing. He was truly one of the kindest man that I have ever known. I haven't seen him in a while but enjoyed any time we ran into each other, and were able to catch up. Ninety years of life was a gift from God, and now he will spend eternity with Him. RIP Jack 🙏❤️
