Richard Sherman
Dec 29, 2016 12:48 AM
There are few people you go through life meeting that reflect only good character. Few,
whom you can't relate one singular bad thing to, in any way. Jack was one of the kindest
individuals I've ever met; with intention and meaning in all that he said and did. He
symbolizes the person we should all strive toward being and becoming.
With this world made dimmer without such a bright soul, I truly wish the best to all that
cared for and loved this gentle person.

Dec 29, 2016 07:27 AM
WE met Jack when my husband Buzz started teaching Josh trumpet many years ago. We
always admired Jack and Myra for their wonderful sense of humor and generosity. They
always included us in many of the family activities. They always treated us like part of
their wonderful family. Jack will be missed by many and especially us. RIP Jack
