Who Is Uncle Jack?

Who is Uncle Jack? Are you wondering the same thing? Ever since I heard this story I've been wanting to find out who "Uncle Jack" is. Was he an amazing man that had many accomplishments in life? Maybe an Air Force pilot? A father that guided his sons to a successful life. I guess for sometime we wont know.. or maybe we'll never find out.

Terry Diamond from KBCY called to tell me the story of the urn on her front porch. When I went to the radio station on Monday, I couldn't believe this urn was real! How could someone randomly leave an urn with possible ashes inside at a home that wasn't the right one!

The note on the urn read: Domi, I've called many times!! Your new home is nice. Had to drive back. Take care of Uncle Jack. Love, Eddy.

Terry gave the urn to the police and this is why I think we might not find out who Uncle Jack really is.

I spoke with a Jack North from North's Funeral Home, and he told me that if the urn is unsealed there could be a coin in there that identifies the funeral home it came from or a document that has information on the person.

How GREAT would that be if we can find out who Jack is and why someone left him at the wrong home!

Wait... not so easy. Police have Uncle Jack's urn and they will not unseal it. They don't want to be held responsible or "liable" for opening the urn. I understand that opening an urn is like opening a casket, very disrespectful but it could help identify Uncle Jack. It would also give Uncle Jack a resting other than the Abilene Police Department's Property and Evidence storage area.

What do you think?

These are my confessions.

I would rather have someone open my urn to identify me and find my family. I would much rather have police unseal it then leaving me in property and evidence for sometime. Maybe Jack wasn't a great man but no matter who he was he deserves to be with family.

Don't get me wrong. I understand where the Abilene PD are coming from. I respect that. I'm just curious who is inside the urn, the story of his life, and have him back to the person that was intended to receive the delivery of the urn.

Always,

Maria
