He was a wonderful man, and I’m glad that I knew him and Nancy. They were wonderful friends.
Nancy and Jack were very special people. Although late in their lives, they both enriched our own lives. We will miss hearing about their full and varied life experiences as well as watching their great love for each other.
Our time as friends was too short.
