I used to work at the truck stop in Virginia were Jack would come and get fuel. He would stay and talk, he would help me out if I needed anything at all. He was truely a great guy that didnt get the chance to live a full life, but he was happy. He was always funny, always had something to say. If you were having a bad day he would not leave until he made you smile at least once!! I am soo sorry for you lose. He will always be remembered.
