What can I say about a man that was truly the meaning of incredible. Someone that never once said no to a 5 year old when asked if he wanted to go outside and play hockey when I called him. Jack wasn't a neighbor to me but an extra grandpa. He always had time for me growing up and I will always cherish those moments. Never a bad thing to say, always a smile and always time to talk. I will forever miss him. Take Care Jack. No hockey buddy let me win as much as you. Love Ya!!
