UNPRETENTIOUS
I had the good fortune of marrying one of Jack�s daughters and remember the first time meeting the family. Mary�s sisters were funny and her mother was outgoing. I must admit I was always a little afraid of her brother. However, out of all the initial impressions I don�t really remember Jack. But over the years Mary and I have been together, his kindness and generosity has been something that I always come back to. �Do you have time to play golf? How�s your job? Do you need any help around the house?� Those are the kinds of things that he would ask me but always away from the group so as not to draw attention. I don�t believe that I ever saw him try to take advantage of a situation or truly be rude to another person (I must admit that I never went car shopping with him.). I guess that if you can live your life that way and leave those types of imprints on other people, then you have lived a very rewarding life.
