    It is with great sadness to read of your fathers passing. Having grown up living catty corner from each other on W. McClurg St. I remember him and Juanita. If I remember correctly, young John and my brother Jerry Jacks graduated together. We lost our father in 1973 and mom in 2011. So hard losing ones parents. Please accept my deepest condolences.
