He was known to most of his good friends as Captain Jack but all his friends know he was a one of a kind smart, funny and someone you could come to for advise who touched each of their lives with laughter, stories and joy of living. Lets Have "One More For the Ditch" he would say!. He will truly be missed by us all.+ forever live in our heart. |
