Robbie, Wendi, Curt, and Lana, my condolences to you and your families. I know you are all heartbroken, and been keeping you close in thought and prayer. Hope the love of family and friends helps you through this sad time. Love you all.
Captain Jack, great sence of humor and a way with words, although I only met him once, his daughter Wendy was so very proud of him. A wonderful Dad and Grandpa, may he rest in peace.
I’m so very sorry for the loss.
I graduated with your dad from Griffith in 1961, but only became a friend of his within the last few years. I know he has been very ill but was always open for a conversation. He loved his family very much. My prayers are with you all.
Sharon.
I miss you dad so much. It has only been over 24 hours and my heart is broken. I know that you aren’t in anymore pain. You are with grandma and grandpa. Along with Alice. I will always cherish the last 4 months that I got to have with you. May you be at rest now. I love you so very much and will always carry you in my heart. Love your Daughter
Wendi
