Jack was a wonderful brother who always looked out for me. Even when he went off to the Army he would come home on leave and come see me. When I graduated from high school Jack came home with a portable record player. Then I got married and moved the California, Jack was manager of a casino and came up to Eureka to visit. We took him up to the big Redwoods with Bob’s folks. Rick was a toddler & Jack held him as much as he could. Bob was going to Humbold State College in Arcata at that time. We then moved to Sunnyvale for Bob’s work. Jack came up to see us again there before we moved to San Mateo & he gave Rick pony rides on his back. He was so good to me & I love him dearly. It was hard watching him be in pain from lung cancer & agent orange, when I last saw him in August 2016. It was so hard to let him go but God needed him in Heaven. Miss him so much but remember all the good times in we had. I will see Jack on the other side.
