Dear Jackie, and the Housner Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of sitting around your kitchen table enjoying the company of your family - your dad patting his pocket looking for smokes he no longer had. I'll always remember him as a stand up guy - strong, reliable and handsome, with such a beautiful laugh. You were so blessed to have him. I know he will be deeply missed. Prayers for comfort and peace today - and as you remember John. Blessings - Jo Machina
Dear Jackie and Housner Family, I had the very good fortune to work with Jack at Becker Manufacturing in the early 70's. I have very fond memories of wonderful talks about life and faith. Jack was the foreman, and a wonderful boss. He was extremely organized and conscientious. In fact, now as I'm remembering him, I worried at times because he was so very concerned about doing his job well. He treated everyone with respect, and offered help and guidance whenever it was needed. He was a good man, one to be proud of as a family. Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you at his memorial, but wanted to express my condolences, and very fond memories. Know that with this short note comes my prayer that the Lord would surround you with his love an peace at this difficult time. Sincerely, Peter Pingitore Sr.
