My father and a wonderful loving man that cherished education, knowledge, family and friends. He loved to walk and swim. He always loved a good joke and love to play pranks on anyone he thought “could take it”. He was a few years short of his goal to live to 94 but in the end he said it did not matter – He will be missed by so many.
Jack is indeed greatly missed, as a treasured friend of mine and my family for many years. He was such a devoted dad/grandpa, active and busy with his many friends from years-gone-by. He was a charming dinner partner, dedicated volunteer at the Zoo and Washington U., just a wonderful person to have known and shared time with. God’s mighty blessings to him and his very delightful family.?
