Jack Birtel,

First a child of God, a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend and one could go on and on. Bottom line, Jack was a "Good Man".

John (Jack) Birtel was an individual who always seemed to bring out the best in people he was associated with. I considered him my brother and I will truly miss our talks we had together. I have lost a true friend but I am sure he is in the hands of God now. Rest easy Jack until we meet again.
