Rest in peace.
I’m so so very sorry about Jack. He fought so hard. What a great guy!
He came to our rescue often when Mike Groce would get a wild hair to mess with electricity. I’d have to call up Jack to come save us! So sweet, Jack came a running even in the middle of the night, like Mike building a dimmer switch for our Christmas tree lights and blowing the electricity throughout the whole house, and sending the poor tree flying across the room in flames! Jack, being the nice guy he was, didn’t even lecture him, just spent all day fixing his mess.. Jack called Mike just as much for help too!
They were trouble, both of them! All the time!
Reunited again, fishing and causing trouble in heaven.
I know you will miss him, I pray that God comforts you in the hard days to come.
Sending you love, Christine Groce.
Tammy so sorry for your loss. Continued prayers for you and your family. 🙁
