Jack told me, “Find passion in your job and you’ll never work a day in your life”. I believe with his profound passion for Fuels, he never worked a day in POL, yet he accomplished more for our Community than anyone I know. Jack, the visionary, brought the future of POL to the present in many ways, however, he always carried a passion for past POL Warriors. I recall the stories he shared with POLCATs during API trips, you could here a pin drop as we all listened.
Ruth, Jack’s spirit will always be with us and the lyrics below from the song “Memories by Maroon-5” captures it all.
“Here’s to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we’ve been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you”
John 11:25 Jesus said to her,”I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die”.
