Jack worked at Orlando Regional Medical Center for 38 years and was passionate about his job and caring for others. To know him was to love him. He was generous to a fault, funny, vibrant and larger than life. If you needed anything Jack would move mountains to help. Jack always had a smile and a quick wit that lit up a room! Please come and celebrate a life he well lived. He cared for, defended and protected us all of his life and it’s his time now to brighten up the heavens.

The stars are going to twinkle brighter and the sun will sparkle stronger and the rain will fall like glitter with you there. We sure are going to miss you here. Love you to the moon Jackie Bear. We will have several knick knacks, chachkies, the things he treasured and filled his space with- for you to have and take and remember him by
