Jack, my favorite cousin and friend. We had many commonalities: Love of Veterans, our United States Flag, Patriotism, football, and of course, dogs. May you rest in peace Jack. You'll always be in my heart. Love from your cousin, Maija Shadow

I being the "adult" in our 1939 Red Chevy while Jack was "practicing" for his learner's permit. It was clear to me that he had been driving enough to be more comfortable driving than I was. One stop included passing by his friend's house. He was driving with one hand on the wheel and throwing rotten apples at his friend with the other. I'm freaking out. He definitely had a fun side.
