Personal note from Jack's family

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dad, Jack Eckmann.  Dad was the cornerstone of our family.  He loved the Lord and led by example.  He was the best husband, father and papa anyone could have asked for.  He was not only wise, thoughtful, kind and generous, but he was also exceptionally fun and goofy.  He was always willing to put things down to play with his grandkids, talk to his kids and engage in any crazy shenanigans.  He will be deeply and forever missed by all of us.  We love him dearly and long for the day when we will see him again.  Thank you all for all of your thoughts, prayers and condolences during this time.
