I just learned of Jack’s passing! It’s left me with an empty space that is unpleasant. He and I have spent time together . . . I’ll miss that. We laughed, played music together, rode in cars which he purchased AND built. He’s made me laugh and scarred me almost to death!!! I know of kindnesses which he extended to people and that speaks volumes to me. He was THAT guy. There have been many losses in my life – this is one of the biggest. I pray that all of you – who are family and friends, heal quickly and in healthy ways. I will always remember my friend, Jack . . .
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Our sincere condolences to Eileen and all the family on their loss. Prayers for comfort to you all.
Rest in peace Jack, I have known Jack for many years. We shared interest in cars and motorcycles. I have bought both from him. Jack was an interesting guy, he was talented in many areas. Jack was an achiever and clever. To his family please accept my sincere condolences.
