To Bernice, Don and Shawn , Our deepest condolences. Jack always enjoyed a good farm and Cattle story,
A good horse story and even just a flat out wild story with his many friends at the coffee shop. He always pushed the chair back and say “ I think I heard enough” as he walked out with that grin on but always back the next day to see if we could better the story. Jack was always part of our Fun Gang and his One Shots back at us will be forever missed. Always in our thoughts. RIP Jack.
Kim Bowman
