So many great memories of Jarvis, not as family, but as spectators of his life. Had several opportunities to see him in action throughout the years from church events, parades, piano lessons and strolls along 28th Street. He will be missed here. Please accept our most sincere and loving thoughts. Thank God for the precious gift of eternal life. What a glorious reunion it will be when we all get to Heaven!
