Yes I miss my friend like a brother. The times we had smiling across a good hot Dutch oven of tasty fixens then shortly sampling them. Or the fun we had putting on our Round Table training. Or just to talk to each other and close with a good laugh. Yes I miss my dear friend and still think of him often. There are many that still miss Jack because he was a good family man and loved working with kids.

I think of Jack often and remember so many times we shared camping, training and cooking experiences together. It is a good thing to think of someone so highly and high enough to think of him as a brother. Yes I miss Jack.   Ken

Jack and I met at a scout training in 1981 at Camp Soule.  My memories of him go deep and the friendship we made was just as hot as the campfires we shared. Growing closer through scouting, Dutch oven cooking and Round Table Training with our other friends spanned those many years of training and cooking side by side. I always enjoyed getting him to laugh as he seemed to live in the moment. We had many lunch times together just sharing fellowship together and drinking our coffee. I will miss Jack because over those years he became more than a friend but more like a brother.
Brightly glows his last campfire.  God Bless.

Thank you for your leadership & friendship. You will be missed.
