    I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I'm also sorry I didn't have a chance to see him much recently, but my memories of him are very much like the picture you've included: he was always happy, and ready with an upbeat comment. He was a good guy, a nice Uncle. He will be missed. I hope you find peace quickly. Best, Noelle

    I always loved to visit Uncle Jack and Aunt Kathy when we were kids. Not only was it fun to be around them, but they had great kids, too. We talk about Uncle Jack a lot to our son, Gavin, who has the same color hair. I'm sorry we were not able to make it back for the funeral, but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love- Ian, Debra, Duncan and Gavin
