Saddened to learn of Jack's passing. I learned so much as a young boy about hard work and helping out others from him. My life is better for having had the privilege to have known him.
Dear Marlene, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. It was always so good to see you and Jack out at community events. He was a good friend to dad (Gene Andres) and a hard worker for the VFW. He will be missed. Kathy
Sorry for your loss
