Jacks passing is sad for all who were lucky enough in life to know him and share in his friendliness, joy and caring for others. He is already missed but is sharing eternity with God that he served with dignity

So very sorry to be reading this. Jack and I met many years ago when we were both in business in Grandview. He was the type man that one could not forget after meeting him. I call myself very lucky to have been called friend by him. I know that all in heaven have already met a friend. He knew no strangers. Rest In Peace Friend.
