To all of Jack's family - I am so very sorry for your loss. Jack (and Ellen) hold a special place in my heart. We had so many good times and laughs together over the years in the U.P. If you know, you know. Things weren't the same after 2015, but I am hoping his humor is entertaining everyone who passed before him.

To All of Jack´s family,
So sorry for your loss he was such a kind man and always so nice me as Ellen was. They were good friends of my parents growing up. May he now Rest In Peace with Ellen.
Warmly,
