I grew up with and babysat for Jack and Jackie's family. I have followed his family throughout this time and I was saddened to hear of Jacks passing. My love and sympathy to his family during this time of change in their lives. Though I did miss the lack of even mentioning the children's mothers name. She was a magnificent and classy lady.

Deep and sincere condolences to the Seaton family on the passing of my good friend Jack. A true golfing buddy, we shared many rounds of fun and competition and many more laughs. Jack was a man of heart whose concern for others was an inspiration to all who knew him. Jack, hit-em high, long and not often. John Dobbs
