I was so sorry to hear about Jack’s passing. He lived down the hall from my mother, Deloris Reich, at Country Manor. Mom was also a friend of Joyce Gelle, playing Farkel on Friday nights together for many years. Jack would stop by the table to check things out but we couldn’t convince him to join the game.
May special memories of that great guy be of special comfort to all of you.
