So sorry I can't be in Michigan this week. I have so many happy memories of Uncle Jack, or Uncle Buddha as he was known to the Lee family. Always a smile and a witty rejoinder. Sending lots of love to you all.

Uncle John was a pillar of faith, kindness, and kinship in our family. I will always remember his warm smile, greetings and hugs at holidays and family gatherings. He will be deeply missed, but we have faith that we will see him again in the presence of our Heavenly Father. God’s peace, Uncle John! Love, Joe

- Joe Herrera (nephew)
