In Memory of Jack Gates (1917-2007)

Last Thursday, we received the sad news that Ryan's grandfather, Jack, passed away. Jack's great sense of humor, passion for music, and love for his family will be missed. Ryan's grandpa gave him many wonderful memories including family vacations to Jack's cabin on the St. Lawrence River.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away! -- Johnny Cash

We love you, Jack!
