Jack was a very special friend to Ed and I. Early on Jack and Ed worked together at United Stationers and it was then that Jack and Ree and Ed and I became friends. We always had the best time no matter what we were doing from our numerous shopping trips to Reading, PA, Jersey shore vacations or Florida trips for Phillies spring training. After Marie passed, we mostly met Jack for lunch, but we always looked forward to spending time with him. He had the uncanny ability to remember people, places and dates and if something ever stumped Jack, he would look it up in one of his many journals. Jack, we will miss your smiling face and I, particularly, will miss your goodbye kisses...always taking my cheeks in his hands, giving the cheeks a squeeze then a kiss! May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be always at your back. Until we meet again. Love you Jack.
Barbara and Ed Smith
