Jack's real memorial service
Sorry if I stepped on toes, particularly with you who hoisted a few,but
I felt that an update from the rememberance service held by Jack's family and close friends was as newsworthy and as relevant to his memory as the many " Looks good- slaw or cornbread with that? " type posts . I realize we all deal with grief in different ways - those of us who knew him outside the newsgroups can certainly agree. |

I think all who cooked and hoisted in remembrance of Jack, also mentioned something about Jack and his participation in this group. He was well liked and respected. BBQ |

Miranda, your treading was so light, and so heartfelt, that it needs no apology. I'm just glad that a friend of over 30 years, who knew nothing of the NGs, and who I hadn't seen in several months, came by that morning. By the time noon, Left Coast time, drew nigh, he knew what I could tell him of Jack (and the Hound, for that matter). When it came high noon, he tipped a Jameson's or six, with me, in Jack's Memory, and the Hound's. I wish I had gotten to meet Jack in person. Hound, too. My friend, tough old VN War flyboy, got misty eyed when lookin' at the pics of Jack and the postings of those who loved him, even if we only knew Jack from here. He left around 2 PM, I continued looking at pics and reading Jack's recipes and these good folks posts, toasting Jack's memory for another 12 or 14 hours. You and Monroe are good friends. Your willingness to stay back and 'keep the home fires burning' while Monroe attended the Service for Jack, is an exemplary demonstration of what it entails to be a 'BBQ widow'. I salute you. -- Nick. To help with tsunami relief, go to: http://usafreedomcorps.gov/ Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ! |
