Jack has Left the Planet...

Jack Garner had a great life. He had more enchanting stories to tell than anyone I've ever known. Jack was a wonderful dad and grandfather, a good friend, a fun husband to Mom. He was a cowboy-adventurer who loved to fly planes and drive fast cars and boats. We will miss him.

Determined not to let anyone in the family share in his departure, Jack left the planet around 12:30 AM today. Meg, Ted and Hannah were at the ranch. Gary and I were home from the cruise, and asleep in our own bed. Mom was resting comfortably at the Inn at the Park with Bailey-dog, albeit looking forward to going to see Jack with us this afternoon. Alas, that was not to be. We went to her home at 6 AM and shared the news.

That's about all I can write at this time. Will share more soon.
