Jack will be greatly missed. He had such a sweet and gentle spirit about him. Jack had the greatest smile ever that would brighten my day! I will miss visiting Jack along with my animal therapy volunteers. There are people in your life who leave an imprint on your heart, and Jack was sure one of those amazing people. I miss you Jack. My condolences to Pat, Melanie and the rest of the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers…..Corie Tarello, HHHOK

I lived next door to Jack and Pat for 18 years. Great people. Jack was always willing to help and fun to be around. Moving was like moving away from family.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
