Jack & Dortha lived next door when I was a little girl. I still have a picture that he drew for me. He and Dortha signed it on the back. I have carried that picture w me over the years. Today it came to me to Google them. So so sorry to learn. Happy that he found love again after Dortha & had kids. He was such a joker and loved kids. He touched my life back in Mansfield, Ohio. My mom owned the apartment building.
