  12. I consider Jack my brother. So many memories. He just became my Regional Manager at NAPA when my dad died. He came for my support. I have memories of be with him when he had his first surgery in the early 2000’s . He was a mess. The joker he was had everyone in Surgery LAUGHING. I have to tell this he made a Exit Only Sign and tape to his back side. That tells the story. But most of all He was my CHRISTIAN BROTHER. I will see you again BROTHER in our Heavenly Home.
