PETTINGER If there is one thing I know about Jack Pettinger... it is this. 1) He loved his family and worked relentlessly to provide for them. 2) He set his eyes on Barb when they were teenagers and has worshipped her since. 3) Jack was himself no matter who he was around or where he was. 4) He tried every putter ever invented. Twice. 5) Jack was young at heart. Always up for an adventure.
