    We are saddened to hear about Jack's passing. I went to school with him and Carol. We enjoyed catching up at Carol's high school reunion. She bragged about Dean and Mary Jane. Of course, Cole and Jack were very special. She loved to fix their favorite meal for their birthdays.

    Jack and Carol were special friends. They will be remembered by all of their family and the friends they have in Illinois and Penna.
