-Grief is almost a selfish feeling i have learned. Because when someone you love dies they are going to a wonderful place, its a natural step in life that we will all take. But that does not make it any easier for those who mourn tthe loss of someone as amazing as Jack. Jack was one of he best men i have ever met. He had agood heart and truly cared about the people that took care of him. He had a old time charm that went well with his cocky smile . Jack was not related to me and i have only known since Gardenview opened but I will miss him every day. JACK I LOVE YOU! And i know you are up there with your angel and a good glass of wine, living it up! Miss you:(

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jack since his arrival to the Allegan County Medical Care Community. We had long talks about his younger days and all the crazy things he used to do. My favorite memories include watching him play racquetball in our exercise group and competing with the other men to see who could nail who with the balloon. Most often, it was Jack who ended up getting whacked in the head, laughing contagiously as he told the one’s who got him that God would get them back for that. His favorite thing to do when the weather was nice, was to sit outdoors in the sun. There he would do his daily exercises to strengthen his legs and arms, with the hopes that he would one day walk again. Many of us came to know and love Jack, feeling as if we had become like family. He often had candy in his room that his niece Janice would bring in for him to share. I can still here him telling me to take a handful, but I would politely refuse, taking only one, telling him that it gave me an excuse to stop by and see him later. He had the most contagious smile, the most unique witty sarcasm, and a heart of Gold. I am so sorry to the family that he has left behind for the pain you are feeling. Just please know, that Jack has been waiting for this for some time. He often spoke of living a long, full life and that he was ready for whatever was next after this life. He is now happy and where he was wanting to be. He is pain free, and finally able to walk again…

To the family of Jack. I had the pleasure of knowing him through the ACMCC. Jack always seemed to make my days a little brighter. Jack will truly be missed. Sorry for your loss.
Jack-I shed a tear for you today then along came a smile. You are in a better place and I will see you again someday. I was blessed to have known you. I will miss and remember those long talks we had.
