I believe that the best honor a law enforcement officer can receive at his passing is the simple statement, "he was a good and honest cop, but had a golden heart when he help" and this certainly describes Jack. Jack is with Doughboy riding pain free and happy to see his family members and friends that went before him. My prayers to Jack's family and friends that they can find peace and comfort during this time of sadness and sorrow. There is an old gospel song my deceased wife listened to often in which it declares, "Memories are a gift from God that even death can not steal" Look back on the good times and those memories, it helps.
