Jack was one of the few "good guys" that came from his work at HM. He loved his "Pine Tree Forest" down by Davis City. RIP my friend.

Jack was such a great cousin to my dad, Dean. He always came and visited dad once or twice a day whenever dad was in the hospital in Des Moines. He did the same for my mom, Raideen. He will be greatly missed by everyone in our family.

Uncle Jack was the best Uncle to have. He always had advice for when I needed it and a quick wit whether I needed it or not. I will always remember him coming down to the farm early on a Saturday morning ready to go pheasant hunting.
Rest Well Uncle Jack.
