    My Condolences to Aunt Janet, and all Jack’s Children and Grandchildren. I remember Jack as warm, kind, and patient when I would visit as a child. He always put up with my antics, and always had something funny to say. My heart and prayers go out to the entire family with Love and Grace.

    Janet and Family,
    We are so sorry to read of Jacks passing. My Dad (Glen Weeks) enjoyed every day he spent with Jack. My Mom enjoyed all the phone conversations they had in recent years. What a special person he was. Linette Monson, Grace Weeks and Lillian Duer
