Uncle Jack you have made long lasting memories for Tina and I. The times we have shared together on the golf course or in the casino you have made our lives full of joy and happiness. These memories will be with us forever.. You will be missed by many but not as much as I will miss you. Tell everyone we all said hi and be sure to grab a seat at the card table with the rest. Mike & Tina
