From the moment I met Jasper he felt like a friend he became. Jasper loved Judy (his wife) and his pets. He never seemed to be 'down' even when you knew he was ill and hurting. He will be remembered for his smile and cheerfulness and how caring he was. Jasper, may your continued journey be a fantastic one. Enjoy, me friend. Judy, you can't imagine how badly I feel for your loss. Take care and be well. Love ya' Ward
