Jack was one of my favorite people to meet at St. David’s Society events. His glowing smile and light-hearted banter always lifted my spirits. My heart goes out to his family at their loss.
Thank you Holly for your kind comments. Sincerely, Pam Rose
I would like to thank our family and friends for
the kind words and donations to the St. David’s Society Of Minn.
We miss him very much, but know he is looking down on us
with love and pride. Love you Dad
Jack always had a twinkle in his eyes and a wonderful smile on his face! As soon as he heard I needed help with repair of an old rocking chair and caning for another, he was over to pick them up and fix them. His devotion to Family and love of Adelle inspired me. RIP Dearest Jack!
When I first started attending Simpson in 2006, I remember your dad and his warm and inviting nature, and his great sense of humor. He made me laugh all the time. And, he was so smart! He impacted so many people! I know Char and George cherished his and Adele’s friendship for their adult life. I remember the last New Year’s that Char and George spent with them. Char joked that when they were younger they would celebrate New Year’s at midnight, now they were celebrating it at noon! I know your dad is looking down upon all of you, proud of your hearts and giving nature!!
Jack and I shared a birthday. I will very much miss our annual greetings to each other. What a wonderful legacy of kindness, service and love of family and friends he has shared.
