I first met Jack as a teenager & young adult through Cheryl, my soccer teammate & eventual housmate at UVM. To me Jack's size & presence made him intimidating. However, he was always warm, friendly and welcoming. I came to learn over time that he was a hard worker and became very successful in his business. I admire that kind of down-to-earth commitment to making a better life for your family. I was recently back East visiting Cheryl, and he extended some kind words to me through Cheryl. I was unable to see him during that trip and of course regret that I missed my last chance, never imagining that it would indeed be the last chance to feel the warmth and joviality of a pure soul. Wishing Cheryl and her family the strength and grace to move through this difficult time. Much love, Shelley
