Jack S. Monaghan Parkesburg, Pa.
Jack’s obituary was filled with information. His photograph, in the obituary, brought back old memories, especially his smile. "Rest In Peace" Jack. You are a good man.
Uncle Jack
Dear Wildes,
I am so late, but I did want to let you know how great my uncle was to me. John Monaghan, my “Uncle Jack”
My Uncle Jack was the only relative that I have kept in touch throughout the last two decades, except my family I always enjoyed hearing what he and Aunt Barb were doing.
When she passed, Uncle Jack missed her so much. His conversation was about Aunt Barb, and all the places they went or the things they had done.
Reminiscing put a smile on his face, and he could remember all the places and stories about the short trips or bigger ones.
He also liked to talk about his years with UPS, and the people, especially Richard Woodall. He enjoyed football and great food from Bette Woodall’s kitchen.
He missed his home, but remembering the great times and the kitties was always on his mind.
I miss those phone calls. I miss “Uncle Jack”
