The Maxwells have always been good neighbors. So sorry for the loss of this good man. Love and prayers for the family. ~The Tranthams
Jack was a good Uncle. I remember all the camping he always did. The funniest thing I remember about him was one time Jackie had fixed him steak for supper. She went to his garage to get him. When the returned back to the table there was no steak on Jacks plate. Their dog had gotten it and was eating it. After the mad was over Jack just laughed about it.
Jack and Cornelia, I’m very sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
