This was my funny, funny 1st cousin Jack.
He was the only child born to Bruce Amos McDiffett and Edna Joy CAPLE.
Jack was married to Marie "Mary" V. Cimbora. They had no children together but they loved and adored their toy poodle Beau. Beau could do anything and he thought he was a person. He even had his own room!
Jack used to show up at my parents house several times a week. We'd know it was him because he was the only person who knocked on the kitchen door. He usually had a cooler of beer and ice in the back of his El Camino truck which probably explained why he was always in a good mood. He used to let me fish out the ice and eat it in the street, standing right next to him and his truck and he would tease me and tell me I was "a purty little thing". His nickname for me was Ice Cream, my brother was Burrhead. These names remain with us today.
Rest in peace Cousin Jack. I will never forget you.
Cause of death: Emphysema
