It was with great shock and sadness that we just learned of Jack's passing. We spent many hours talking over the years at Casa Del Mar on Spring vacations. Jack and Nancy have been missed over the past couple years and now it hear Jack is gone is just such a shock. Nancy and family, our heartfelt condolences. Eric and Sue Borgman
