I miss Jack tremendously and feel his whole family’s loss, as he was my best friend. Since meeting him in Laurel, we’ve kept in close contact with camping and other army adventures over the years. He was the best man at our wedding, and he was my best friend for my lifetime. He was taken from us too soon. I always remember him for his best characteristics, loyalty, love of family, friendship, funny sense of humor with his cartoons and art, and a sense of humor that perhaps only a fellow police officer and veteran could truly appreciate.
We had so many common interests that we were truly two peas in a pod, and I will miss him forever dearly.
This may not be the best way to try and make contact but Jack had a large presents on eBay as Police car decal seller. His account continues to open until this day June 25, 2025. His account is getting Negative feedback comments where people are saying they have placed orders, paid for items but have not received them. If you being his best friend or if you want to have someone in his family would like to contact eBay or myself I can help buy advising how to close his account. I used to be one of his buyers then later on his competitors. Regardless this s very sad news. He had many many loyal customers that loved and will miss his work. My name and email address is attached to this message but may not appear. You can contact this funeral home for my information.
