$1295.45Jack was a true light in the world who always found something to smile about. Whether you had known him for years, or just met him in a moment, his smile would brighten your day. He loved to be outdoors, working in his yard enjoying the sun on his back. He loved cars of all kinds, and his dream car was a 1932 Ford Coupe. He and his wife Carol were full-time RVers for several years, traveling throughout the US and Canada before settling in Florida for 10 years. They were avid Nascar fans, and attended many races together. When Jack was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2010, he took it in stride. He was determined to stay active and keep moving, and not let Parkinson's get him down. He found something to enjoy about life every single day.
