I met Uncle Jack early on while dating Annette—getting his approval was part of the deal!
With his guidance, and that of the other uncles, I learned how to properly throw a horseshoe and, more importantly, how to keep my head up after a loss. They never let me win—I had to earn it.
We also went to many of his softball games at Barrymore’s, and believe it or not, Uncle Jack was a real athlete.
No matter the moment, if he saw that I—or anyone else—needed a lift or a smile, he was always the one to make it happen.
Annette, the kids, and I will miss him dearly.
