I’ve always been very fond of Jack and will miss our visits on the phone. He was one of my favorite clients, wish they could all be like him. I’m sure he will be greatly missed but we all have fond memories to cherish always.
Going to miss you brother, may you find peace ahead.The rest of your family also wishes you the best while you wait for us. LOVE
Colleen, Jay, and Philip – Susan and I retain memories of the soggy mess that the barge canal flood inflicted on your Brook Hollow home and how you came to live in our downstairs while you all repaired the damage. You have all survived adversity on this earth and we believe that Jack’s spirit has gone to eternal resurection and happiness. Our best to all of you.
Dear Colleen and Family. Please know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love Aunt Mary and Family
Just as I passed Jack’s spelling bee, Jack excelled as a friend. He was handsome, intelligent, and a wonderful husband to my best friend Colleen. His sons were very fortunate and his grandchildren absolutely loved. No one could have asked for more from Jack. Rest in peace and give a hug to my Michael. Love Pina
Colleen and Family. May you find comfort knowing that you have all of our love and prayers at this time. Uncle Bill Spitza and Agnes
