I always loved going to Uncle Jack's to see the family. I loved to visit the house on Tuscola road with the stairways, spacious rooms, quaint kitchen, and the wooded setting with frog ponds and all species of birds. I loved to see the horses in the pasture. I have a frog pond, the woods, lots of birds and wildlife in my yard. Thanks for the same traits that you loved Uncle Jack. We will miss you Uncle Jack. Our thoughts and prayers are on his family. James and Deborah Godley Morris-Motz
