Damn, that's sad to hear. I was pulling for Jack. It sounds like you did all you could given the situation & kudos to your better half for rescuing him in the manner that she did.

Sounds like he had a helluva run and deep down I think you liked him much more than you lead on. To that end, I'm sorry for your loss and hope you find peace in the fact that you have the little fella such a good life and shared so much love.

Rest easy Jack.
