Doug & Sandy Stilling It was with great sadness that we heard of Jack’s passing. His marriage to Leona was a joyful example of the power of love and reconnection. Both families welcomed and supported the newlyweds as they created a new life together.
Jack & Leona’s home was always filled with guests – families visiting, sharing memories and laughter together.
Our sympathy to all who have been touched by the loss of this kind, gentle man.
