It has been a couple years since I checked in here on the ECF. I was saddened to find the top post in the Reos Mods forum reporting the passing of Jack. I was even more surprised to find it was from 2013! What a kind spirit of a person who so deeply touched others on a forum, the news of his passing is still a top discussion. In Jan 2013, I sold a mod to Jack. We exchanged several PMs about it and chatted as well. He spoke of life, dancing, and women! When I mentioned that I had pondered in the past about moving to Colorado, he immediately responded with an offer of a couch if I ever made it out that way. What a class act. We exchanged a few laughs and completed the transaction. In one of our last exchanges he ended the message with this golden nugget of how he seems to have lived his life, "Take care, and always remember, you're not going to be any younger when you wake up in the morning so the time to do things in life is now."
R.I.P Jack Giampapa. Thanks for the advice and the laughs.
