Jack was one thing to everyone, a good man. He loved his family and was there for all of them, whether that was working on their car, teaching them how to fish, taking them camping, taking them to dinner, being there to help fix personal matters, or just for a Texas size grandpa hug. Jack was always there and always said I love you. Heaven gained an angel and Jack is now with his wife Billie again.
