Jack Singer, who died Saturday at age 81, was a guy who seemed to be at home just everywhere. You'd see him at the post office, at the Buck & Doe Trust breakfast in the Laurels, at equestrian events, directing traffic at accident scenes and of course at his shop, Chester County Timber. For years he served as the official photographer at the Unionville Community Fair, and he'd spend the entire weekend at the Fair, chronicling every single event from the Fair Queen pageant to the cow-milking contest.
Jack was an old-time Unionville native, and it's safe to say he was one of a kind. He was enormously friendly and always ready to settle in for a chat, and it's almost impossible to imagine that we won't see him around town, grinning and sharing the latest news. How fitting that his final resting place is at the Unionville Cemetery right in town, where he'll have no trouble keeping up with what's going on.
I'm so glad I knew Jack. My deepest sympathies to his family.
