When they arrived at Calvary they all accompanied Jack's casket, carried by his grandchildren, to his grave, led by a bagpiper. As they wound around Calvary, they passed many friends who had already made the journey. But the sun shown in the new sharpening cold as they made their way down the road.
And when it was all over, Jack's son, Tom, repeated Jack's famous concluding words,
"Friends, we have done what we have come here to do. Feel free to stay as long as you need, and when you are ready, you may return to your cars."
Well done, good and faithful servant. Much peace be yours now, dear Jack.
