Jack was an exceptional human being. Everyone in his presence felt welcomed, warm, and loved. I never saw him refuse to help someone needing it, but perhaps more importantly he often didn't wait for them to ask. He worked hard, one of the most diligent men I've known.
Jack and Jane took me into their home and treated me like a son. They put me through college. They fed and clothed me. Jack had his own way of doing things, but even when he was grumpy he would smile when he saw his family. Jack loved me, and I will continue to love him and miss him the rest of my life.
Jack was the kind of man I want to be. I will always remember him, his horrible jokes, and his laugh.
Thank you for making me part of your family.
