I will remember the way that Uncle Jack always made other people laugh. I remember the time he randomly chopped down our tree and it still looks like it's from Dr. Seuss, a little bit. Talking to him on the phone was always funny and I always looked forward to when him and Aunt Nancy would come to visit. Him and his family will be in my thoughts and I'm very sorry for this loss.

Nancy. So, sorry to hear about Jack. I will always remember him with a smile on his face and the willingness to do anything for you. He was a good hearted person, friend and neighbor. He would always stop to talk with you no matter where he was. It could be at home or at his place of work. No matter how busy he was, he found the time to say "Hi". He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Jack, May god be with you, and may you be at peace. From your old neighbor and friend.
