He was a man that always went over the top whether cooking a meal for more people than were going to show up, buying someone their favorite gift, telling fish tales, or just giving of himself. He knew how to capture a crowd and could make you laugh until your belly ached. If you knew Jack, he made an impression on you. He was like a tree, even though the tree may have died, the fruit it bore was implanted into the hearts of everyone he knew. He will be greatly missed.
