unionj Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Jack Holmes did not have a mean bone in his body. The worst of days on the line could be changed in a flash when Jack showed up and it was a pleasure to have worked for and beside him. Jacks demeaner did not change on either side of the fence and our times working at NAP, fishing or just shooting the breeze will be missed. Rest in piece my friend.
