Jack and I became close during World War II when Jack was 8 years old and I was 9. My Uncle John, Jack's father, took us fishing on Wilmington Island and from that time on Jack and I were more like brothers than cousins. We spent our teen years boating and fishing together. After college, Jack moved to Orlando, Florida to be near my wife and I. For the last 50 years we had many wonderful boating and fishing trips. A finer man never lived and we will greatly miss him. We are Pauline, Kim, and Mitch in our prayers and thoughts.
