JACK'S 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY....

A video from Cassie and Dustin with a music and picture tribute to him of pictures of their family with Dad in various location, events, and visits. A priceless work of art!

Goodie bag from someone....

Opening some of his gifts after people had left...well most of them!

Blowing out the many candles....he did it!

Tom Loeffler bringing "burning" cake out from kitchen to Jack while we sang "Happy Birthday".

Beautiful cake with 70 candles lit brightly to celebrate all those wonderful years dad has been able to give us....It says, "Aged to Perfection" with a 70 in one of the large stars.

Cookie dough cake that was created by oldest grandchild, Cassie Cook! He loved it!


The Castro family who all came because "without his constant care to get Leo to church this may have never been a family" (Bobbie's words to group while sharing memories) They all gave Jack a hug and said "thanks".
