Jack will always be remembered as an avid sports fan, especially the Broncos. He enjoyed the life of leisure at their cabin at Lake Sumner. Most important was time spent with the family and friends Riding the Waves in his Sumn Kind of Fun Boat. He is the reason his family knew how to have FUN. He will be in our hearts until we meet again.

God saw you were getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
He put his arms around you
And whispered come with me
With tearful eyes we watched,
saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly
We couldnt make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best
