I met Jack when I was stationed in San Diego in 1975. He had just retired from the Navy. From day one he was always a very close friend. My wife and I enjoyed many years with Jack's family and I considered him to be like my brother. He will be greatly missed by me and all those people whose lives he touched. My condolences to Carmen Haydee, Jack Lindell, Jessica, Joneida and Janell.
