We are so sorry about Jack. He was truly someone who made a difference in so many lives and we will miss him very much.
His example of faith is one we can imitate. Jehovah has him safely in his limitless memory and we cannot wait to see him again.

We were so sorry to hear about Jack. He was a special man. Jack and Janice made us feel so welcome when we came to Wadsworth. He was one of a kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Bonnie Hower says
All that was said about Jack is exactly how he was. I didn’t see him very often the last few years but he was never a stranger. You picked up where you left off. He will be very missed.
The Chambers Family says
Our condolences. We are really going to miss seeing him.
Praying for all of you.
Candace Carlton says
One thing I will always remember about Jack was the goodness and concern he extended to me and my family. He was always there with an encouraging thought and made you feel like he was truly your friend. Mostly he made me laugh a lot. I’ll really miss him. Sending hugs to all his family whom he truly loved. I know this because he always talked about them.
Cynthia Kennell says

Lainey Finney says
One evening during a talk on grooming Jack was gently nudging some to gussie up a bit more. I believe his counsel to the sisters was “if the barn needs paint…paint it!” I followed that advice every morning Jack! I will miss your laugh. We love you.

Dale Molnar says
My most sincere condolances.
You do not know me.
I attended Kingdom Ministy School with Jack in 1976.
We loved him, his serious side & humorous side in and out of class.
I hope you still have the class picture from 1976.
But soon we will see him when the earth is a paradise.

I have not seen Jack since I was seven years old. I was his daughters best friend before I moved away. Jack and Janice gave me my first Book of Bible Stories in 1978 and their kindness and love has stayed with me all my life. I will see you in the Paradise so I can thank you in person.
Much love to you and your family.
Mary Calvey says
I knew Jack from working at Medina Hospital with Janice. Seems so long ago. But Jack was a Kind Loving Man and I will always remember his Beautiful Smile and Kind words. Rest In Peace Jack????
Much Love to Janice and Family.
Sean says
I would call my Dad sometimes and he would say “ let run something by you “ it would be something that he was working or an idea that had and we would get to laughing so hard one of us would have to hang up because we couldn’t breath we were laughing so hard. I’d have sometimes pull over if I was driving because I couldn’t see from the crying tears !!!! My Dad always saw the good in people and was one of the most generous persons I know !!!! I will truly miss our talks for now.
