Jack and I met years ago at the jewelry store where I worked. He asked why I wore my cross, smiled at my answer, and wondered if I could dance. I happen to teach ballroom dance, so every Sunday evening we would swing with the 'Beach Boppers' group he had joined and have dinner after. We became great friends ever since and danced until Jack moved to Savannah to be closer to his family. He had a great heart, great ideas, and would help anyone if he could! We were best of friends and talked on the phone daily. He was hoping to visit Disney World soon, and that is how I will remember him - childlike, with energy, and a loving, fun heart! He will be missed by many.
