Posted on: Tuesday, December 9, 2014Dear Heather and family,
I just heard tonight with sadness of Jack’s passing… my heart is heavy for you. I will always remember Jack as a man with a big heart and a very quick wit, and as one of my oldest friends, going back to our early teens at the Church of the Nazarene.
You will be in our prayers and thoughts.
With love,
Chris (Hopwood) Muzzerall
