My Dad is going to be missed immensely by me his daughter tara & my son Yjacobi who’s named after his POPPA! I’ve had the chance to get to know him over the past few years w covid he had to stay put indefinitely which isn’t something he’s accustomed to. I found we shared so many commonalities, plenty of laughs, so much so I often didn’t know if or when he was joking. I know he fought hard but ultimately God called him back as his journey on this earth has been completed. I hope Jenny can stay strong through this saddest of times & accept my deepest sympathy as i know my dad loved her very much! I’m still in shock it hasn’t quite hit me yet. Baby steps….
I met Jack through my brother. Had many great conversations with him about cars. He will be sadly missed
Jack will be greatly missed kind hearted and always helpful and always had a joke or two miss you Dave
