    Nicholas P. Luzak writes,
    My brother was a better man than I. A Military Tribute Banner will soon be erected in his honor along a road in Upper Chichester Township, where he spent much of his youth. I am sorry that he didn't live to see it. I miss him already. But I believe he will forever be watching over me and providing guidance, as he did in life.

    Carol, I was sorry to read of Jack's passing. You may not remember me. We worked together at Xerox about forty years ago. You and Jack visited Connie and I when we lived in Smyrna back then. As we get older our prayer lists grow. It is my fond memories of people like you and Jack that helps temper the sadness. God bless you and your family.
