TOM PURCELL: Thanks for the wonderful days, Jack henryherald.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from henryherald.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Every night, just before bed, heâd thank his bride of 70 years for giving him another wonderful day on Earth.
That was the sweet-hearted nature of Jack Krieger, my familyâs next-door neighbor for more than 30 years.
I first met him as a very young boy, shortly after my growing family moved to our brand new suburban house in 1964.
As I grew up, I knew him as the dad of five children, a good neighbor and an usher at our church.
Jack and his wife, Mary, would become lifelong friends with my parents, but I didnât know the full story of his life until last week.
