So sorry for your loss. My parents loved to spend time with Jack and Arlene during their summers in Antigo. My dad often spoke of what a great friend Jack was to him. I'm sure my parents were there to welcome him into heaven.
Jack was one of the most Godly men I had the honor of knowing. He was a beloved husband, father, and friend. I truly admired this man of great character and faithfulness. He leaves a legacy of a wonderful family and my sincerest condolences go to his wife Arlene and children: Dawn, Darlene, John and Mark and the grandchildren as well as the many friends who had the pleasure of being his friend.
