As always, heartfelt prayers for my Uncle Jack, undoubtedly now in Heaven. I am so grateful for his time, love, & introduction to the Lord, a sustaining strength throughout my life - what a gift. He was truly dedicated to sharing God's message, a caring son & husband, & a sincere friend to many. Uncle Jack was also a huge sports fan, foodie, & loved to talk & share a hearty laugh. I remember my cousin Joel & I spending time during summer vacations in his home, his church, & learning to ride Aunt Lee's horse....it's amazing how much of a positive impact those weeks had - again, I am filled with gratitude. Joel & I joined Uncle Jack in his appreciation of basketball & all things sports related, listening to Aunt Lee sing beautiful gospel songs & eating delicious pastries - he truly was a man who enjoyed the sweet simple things in life the most. Another positive life lesson he shared, much like Gram Hyland, who was so proud of him. My Uncle Jack will always be fondly remembered for his great strengths & life changing lessons of love & laughter, conversation & small amounts of time well spent. Share a prayer, a hug, and a home cooked meal while you watch a good game - all his favorites! And know he is with our Savior above.
