To The Jordan Family,

When I think back to our 4 years of living in St. Charles, I picture the many times my parents spent with Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, Mr. and Mrs. Wade, and Mr. and Mrs. Lyons, and that brings back many happy memories. I am so sorry for your loss. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

I have wonderful memories of Mr. Jordan as the best next door neighbor anyone could have. Tending to a barbeque grill in sub-freezing weather with a martini propped up in a snowbank comes to mind. He was a wonderful man and he will be remembered.

To all my dear Jordan family. I am so sad to here of the loss of my dear friend, utility dad, and bestower of so many jokes, lessons, card games, and just how to live advice over the many years. He will be missed. Please remember the good times had, and that he is now back with his true love. You know she is back to telling him what to do, and he is somewhat listening. I will be having a martini tonight in honor Ken & Al, two of the best, man we were lucky. God bless you all. Love Al & Lori.
