Jack my old mentor. I've been having to screw up on my own here for a while. I hope all is well with you and your family.
Missing you guy.

Hey Jack, I've read your valued comments and advice on many a sitch and I'm glad you have returned to the forum. I'm also so glad that you have reconciled with your wife, it gives us newbies some hope!
Saying that, I'm feeling very despondent tonight and missing my H....

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Sending Jack good thoughts and prayers for whatever journey he may be on.

I'm sorry to say that last fall during or just after Jack's vacation, he got an infection. That infection weakened his system. He fought it, but then he finally succumbed.
Jack3beans (Jeff), was a great friend to me and many others. He was a great mentor and father. And he was an earnest husband. He deeply touched my life, and the lives of so many others.
I'm glad to have known him. I'm sad he is gone. I know he is already missed.

I started a thread for him, under the title Jack...RIP
Not sure what else to do. But yeah, I'm sad about it. What a good man. His mom is on fb and it's gut wrenching.
I wish I could make a more serious grief emoji, but you get the point.
See you on the new thread but don't know how to link it (b/c I've only been posting a decade...)

We've had a few threads started on Jack and what he meant to us, however, after a period of time, I released them from the sticky postings because Jack wouldn't have wanted us to mourn his passing, but rather to rejoice in his life and continue the work that we do.
Here's a link that was created by one of our posters on Jack's Words of Wisdom:
If you still wish to create a thread, I'll link it up for you.

I didn't know about this! I posted a whole new thread - sorry.
And Thank you for the links. I guess you're right about what Jeff would want.
I have some private gems he wrote that maybe I can add to this, sometime?
