Just heard of Jack's passing and was saddened by the news. Jack was a great guy who I got to know during our high school years. May the Lord comfort your family during this tough time. Thoughts and prayers for each of you.

To Jackie and the rest of the Tapper Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Jack and I worked together for a brief period of time at Camelot Lanes back in our high school days and we both enjoyed bowling there. My most sincere condolences to all of you.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Sorry for your loss, Love and Prayers

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences to the Tapper family, especially losing Jack at such a young age. I had Jack when he was a student at Fegely Middle School, along with other members of the family. I would sometimes see Jackie at the BMV in Valparaiso, but, unfortunately, never had the chance to run into Jack. It's always sad to see that a former student has passed away. Take care all, and God bless. Jim Martz

Dear Sandra and family, we are so sorry to hear about Jack and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Sandra and Betsy
