Hello everyone, I am the late Jack Pratt's granddaughter. He passed at 3:30am on 4/6/2020 from complications caused by COVID-19. I must express that the assertion put forth by my aunt in 2017 that he was in full health and was capable of performing most tasks is completely untrue. By 2017, my grandfather required 24 hour care and attention to ensure his safety. For a while, he was able to live at home with my grandmother and received 24 hour at home care from an angel on earth. However, as his and my grandmother's health declined, so did the viability of this option. The truth is that my grandfather struggled for over a decade with the effects of Alzheimer's, and our family continued to love and support him in every way that we could. While the last 3 years may not have been ideal, we were happy to have the time with him that we did. My grandfather was a loving man who lived a full life and he will be missed every day. With the current uncertainty surrounding this virus and our state's lock-down, there are currently no plans for a memorial service. If you wish to show your support, I would recommend making a donation in his name to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation at https://www.alzinfo.org/ Thank you to anyone who has known and loved him.
