Jack,
Goodbye old friend of more than 60 years. We had many good times together from Go-Karts to Drag Racing and in between. Sharing our Families growth together in both Good Times and Bad we gave it everything we had!
Now you´re in another place seeing those of our Families that have already passed relating to the good times of past. So until we meet again "Brother" may you rest in peace and in thrust of God´s Hands.
