Jack Siadek has passed…

We are saddened by the loss of Jack Siadek this morning.

Funeral Services will be at Congregation Beth Sholom Wednesday November 4th at 2:30pm.

Jack was such a greater fighter (he kept getting knocked but always got back onto his feet) and a great all around person. I know our family will miss him.
