Condolences

Gerry Hosey:

Darlene and Family - my sincere condolences.
it was hard not to like Jack - he was just that kind of a guy.
Jack was a well liked and very respected man. I considered him a close friend. I also enjoyed working with Jack
for a couple years. We had some good times and shared a lot of laughs. Jack's favourite quote was " We do really good work - just a not a lot of it".
Definitely going to miss him - "my snickers friend".
Jack - You will always be loved and remembered.
