I cannot remember the date that we met but I do know that it was over 40 years ago. It was at Legg Lake and he always had this skinny kid tagging along with him, that was Steve. They were unseparatble, and they remained this way all of their lives. Not only father and son but best friends.
Jack was a very quiet person but when he spoke everyone listened. He loved to laugh and as far as I know, I do not know of a single person that had anything bad to say about him. He would help anyone that asked. He was extremely knowledgeable with the small 2 stroke engines. He would be rated in the top few percentages of these experts in the world.
I am honored to have been called his friend. Jim Wilson and Jack knew of each other but did not know the other. I had the pleasure to introduce them. It is very special when two of your best friends become friends. They shared a lot of time and knowledge with each other.
I am sure missing them very much.
Charles
