    Those of us who were at the funeral home tonight will remember Jack McGrury as he really was.

    Few if any of us ever saw Jack dressed in a suit and we didn't see that tonight.

    Sandy in her loving wisdom laid Jack to rest in his favorite bib overalls and his
    Merc-Quincy Racing Team shirt. She even placed a spray of Quincy Welding
    YELLOW roses on the casket.

    In his hands were the goldplated master mechanic wrench that Mark Hummelsheim gave him on his 74th birthday and a dirty, greasy, used starting rope.

    This was the Jack we all knew and loved

    Art Neadeck placed a Quincy shoulder patch in the casket. Art said, "This is Jack's pit pass at Lake Paradise".

    There is a "Super Mechanic" turning wrenches at Lake Paradise tonight and reliving some wonderful memories with his buddies who have been waiting for him.

    Good bye for a while Old Friend.

    We'll see you again
