To all of Jack's family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences. You have our deepest and heartfelt sympathy at this very difficult time.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our son took carving lessons from Jack (as a father son activity) when he was in Junior high and it was a really neat experience. I know Jack will be missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have known and loved him.
Sincerely,
Mike and Dianna Roller
