To the Payne’s… I’m pretty sure you know this, but Jack was one of the kindest men anyone’s had the pleasure to know. My interactions with him were limited, but I ALWAYS came away impressed with how he carried himself and more importantly, how he treated everybody fairly. Please know you’re in my prayers. Thanks for sharing him with us for all these years. Peace. Rob
Grandpa your Pooh will miss you and be happy to meet you again some day with Grandma Connie singing with the choirs of angels
