Uncle Jack was a gentle, kind, loving man who always enjoyed a good time, He gave his service to our country. He loved and supported his family and spent time with extended family. I will always remember how he came to visit me with Aunt Jenny when I lived in Boston and they came to see the fall foliage . It meant so much to me. He will be greatly missed by many and his memory will remain with us.
