Aunt Wanda, Reichard Family & Loftus Family:
We're very sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We understand he's been suffering for some time now. We hope you find peace in knowing that he's not suffering any longer. We will keep you all in our prayers and thoughts. Norm's favorite memory of Jack is when he'd take the Meske boys out for a ride in one of his very old cars to put a nice break into our Sunday Family gatherings at Grandpa & Grandma Borkowski's. Also remember him smoking a pipe like my Dad did. I bet they will get together soon in that better place and enjoy a smoke and some conversations about cars and family. Let us know if you need anything at all. Love, Norm Vickie & Brent
