Jack is going to be so missed. He was a great man, so thoughtful and kind and was an amazing Father and Poppy. He was very very loved by so many.
Whenever I spoke with him on the phone at the end of the conversation he never ever said goodbye, he always said "take care" so to the best Father-in-Law, take care until we meet again. Love you xoxo
