\'Uncle Jack\' you always brought a smile to my face and gave the best hugs. Bog Down will never be the same. I shed a tear for you but can only smile when I think of you. xxx

Some Friends Stay Forever in our Hearts
As we walk our path of life
We meet people every day.
Most are simple met by chance,
But some are sent our way.
These become the special friends
Whose bond we can\'t explain~
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries,
So even when we part,
Their embrace still embraces us
With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passagway
Where even miles disappear.
And so these friends God sends our way
Remain forever near.

One of the good one\'s.He will be sadly missed by all who had met and spoken to him. At least now God will have someone to look up to RIP.

Well Jack I can still remember your first day as a newly promoted Sgt at Heywood and your 1st pearl of wisdom " Dont drop me in the **** and I wont drop you lot in it either " and you never did. There will be no more sissy green and custard runs in the traffic car anymore eh mate. I consider myself a better person for having had you as a friend for over 30 years and will miss you. Till we meet again mate.

We only knew you a short time jack but you were always at valley bike school when I was learning to ride and was such a genuinely good guy who made us laugh at blue knights meetings. Such sad news, rest in piece Jack. X

Proud to count you as one of my friends as well as a colleague. They don\'t make them like you any more, more\'s the pity. A light has gone out and the world will be a sadder place. Sleep well my friend.
