Jack was a lifelong member of the American Legion and enjoyed many years marching in the Color guard for Post 468.

Wendy so sorry to hear about Dad. He was a very nice man. I enjoyed our conversations at the mailbox. He also loved Gibbs. I know how hard it was to see him deteriate over the years. Please accept my condolences. Sincerely, Ralph and Elaine Nicholas
