  • En memoria de nuestro querido Papá Jack como le decíamos con mucho amor, respeto y cariño. Fue un hombre maravilloso, admirable, excelente ser humano, con una grandeza espiritual y humildad de corazón incomparables. Su amor por dar era tan grande que traspasó las fronteras y llegó hasta su querido Mazatlán, México su segundo hogar. Desde donde se le llora, se le reza y se le envían bendiciones para que descanse en paz por toda la eternidad. Muchas gracias Papá Jack por todo el amor que nos diste y porque siempre nos consideraste como parte de tu bendita Familia. Dios te bendijo en vida con esa maravillosa Familia que formaste: Lilly, Brian, Jacqueline, Alan, Heather, Audrey, Claude, Erik, Brett, Art, Larry, Margarita, Yvonne, Burt y todos tus sobrinos sobrinas a quienes mandamos nuestro más sentido pésame y un fraternal abrazo. Papá Jack, muchas gracias por tanto amor, por tanta alegría, por tanta calidad de vida que nos regalaste, siempre estarás en nuestra mente y en nuestros corazones, que Dios bendiga tu alma y a tu hermosa y bendita Familia por siempre y para siempre. Sinceramente tu Familia mexicana: Marcos, María, Pablo, Ana, Noel, Carlos, Pamela, Grace y Marquitos.

  • Uncle Jack would come over with Peter D to pick up Dad (Peter C) to go on their fishings trips, or hunting trips. Always bring back a load of wood. When I was old enough also got to join in a few times. My Dad looked forward to those days out. From our family our deepest sympathy, Uncle Jack may you rest in peace. Childs Family

  • Uncle Jack was a terrific gentleman who will be missed greatly. Spent weekends with Peter enjoying the outdoors. Jack stuccoed our home and maintained it over the years showing us that he not only enjoyed his spare time but was a very hard worker. Always had a big smile. Our condolences to Lil and family. Rest in peace Jack.
