Tracy, Joe and Emily,
Jack was one of a kind. I loved working with him. He loved all of you so much. He was my friend, my cohort in crime. When things would get bad at work, he would tell me we were taking a walk!
May he walk freely through the heavens now.
Rest in Peace, Jack, you will be greatly missed!
Love,
Kerry
