Although the passing of a great person is always sad, in Jack's absence we have to remember the imprint that he left on each one of us. He would want us to remember the best aspects of our experiences, and I'll never forget the impression he left with my family, and I will never take the time I spent with him for granted. Happy Birthday, Jack, I'm thinking of you.

To all of Jack's Family,
I got to know Jack through St. Joe's Golf league. I really enjoyed playing with Jack and the fun we always had at the "19th" hole. Jack was a terrific guy. We'll all miss him.

To Jack's Family...We were at the Do IT Best show in Indianapolis, IN over the week-end when one of the National reps gave us the news about Jack. He has been our salesman for as long as most of us can remember and there are no words adequate to tell you how much we all thought of him and how much he will be missed by us. Please know that we share in your sadness as we have lost a very dear friend. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.

So sorry to read about your father. Just played golf with him in Myrtle Beach in April. Had the impression he was doing fine. Always enjoyed his company--even helping him build the swimming pool in Penfield.

Dear Aunt Jeanette and family,
We were so sorry to learn of Jack's passing. He fought a courageous fight, but now he is at peace. We know how hard it is to watch someone you love suffer and to leave sooner than you expected.
Thinking of all of you at this difficult time.
Love,
Lori, Stan and family
