Jack leaves behind a rich legacy of love, loyalty, commitment and stability. He loved his family more than words can express and reflected God’s unconditional love for us every day of his life. He was a gifted architect, designing homes, schools, churches and places of community. He served the church, Saint James Episcopal and gave to this faith community throughout his life. The simple beauty of Jack’s faith, character, and creative genius shaped the lives of his family, friends, and community. He was a great man.
