Greetings, Mary, Scott and Mike -- My heart goes out to you all during this sad time as you mourn the loss of your wonderful father. Jack was such a lovely man -- so gentle, kind and caring. I have many fond memories of both of your parents. They were such soft-spoken and loving people. They made this community a better place, and so did your dad's Troyer Rexall Drug. May you be comforted by wonderful memories of your dad. My husband, Larry, recently underwent spinal fusion surgery and we are staying COVID-safe right now during his recovery by not going to indoor places where there might be crowds. So, while I won't see you in person, please know that Larry and I hold you all in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing you peace. With deepest sympathy, Keri (Naidl) Olson

I met Jack when I wandered into his drugstore one day. We hit it off together, and over the years he became a wonderful friend. We golfed together, worshipped together, shared family times together, and made many happy memories. Although I mourn his passing, I know he is in heaven, and the memories of his friendship will be with me always.
