“Jack was the best "Fairy Godfather" to all 3 of us Misfeldt kids and a great friend to our parents. I'm grateful my son got to go on a hunting trip with Brian & Jack and see what a fun guy Jack was. We were such lucky kids to have the adults we had in our lives. My prayers and love go out to Marcia, Kathy, Kelly and their families.”
