Jack never met a stranger, was always the life of the party and he was a friend of so very many. He was the sole patriarch of the family for well over two decades and simply could not have done a better job. He absolutely adored his family, and showed it in every way big and small. Jack loved travelling, taking care of his yard and cars, and snuggling with his beloved dogs throughout the years. Our hearts are broken and we will forever be missing him, but look forward to the day that hilarious memories of him again bring full belly-laughs and not these tears.
