Condolences to Gene Rowe. I used to work at Jeffirs Motors during high school — 50 years ago. You were the best mechanic I ever knew, and I learned so much working with you.I was so glad to know you. Don\’t know if Helen Griggs, my classmate from Webster School, is there, too, but if she is, I wish her the best. She was a nice person.
Leanne Runyan says
Jack will be greatly missed. I was fortunate enough to assist in caring for Jack while employeed at Millers Merry Manor. I know that he touched the lives of many fellow caregivers. To Dottie, I know how much you cared for Jack and his days were always brighter when you were around.
