Dear Janie & Family----we are sending our deepest sympathy for your loss. We always look foward to your "WELCOME BACK" each spring. It was a pleasure to have you as neighbors at Sportsmens.

Dear Janie and family,
What a huge loss! Even after you sold your cabin to Jack’s son, we were hoping to see you on visits. Jack was bigger than life. He incessantly ribbed and kidded me, combining it with a genuinely compelling warmth and kindness, which made him one of my very best friends at Sportsmen’s. We got a real kick when he knocked on our door one Hallowe’en, empty glass in hand, demanding “trick or treat!” And those were great times we had at your place–thank you again for your terrific hospitality--and always enjoyed it when he stopped by on his ATV with Zeb and Zack.
Janie, we already miss both of you very, very much.
