Mr. Jacelon,
....was part of my life. My Father loved his company and he brought many smiles to our family and conversations for many years. I remember He lived life for the moment and enjoyed. He had so much pride in his children and grand-children. He always smiled even if it was just for the moment. He wanted everyone to be happy.

Personal note..

Mr.Jacelon,
Could YOU give my Dad a hug and a Coors and tell him I miss him. Thanks!

Hugs, Vira and family

I will surely miss my dear brother and my friend. I will miss his sense of humour and his phone calls to remind me of how much he cared.
