Ronnie and I are very saddened by the sudden passing of Jack. He was truly a good friend. I first really learned what a fine person he was while I worked with "the bunch" at Bendix Corp in the middle of the Fort Stewart area (going through the dirt roads at Landing 3 to the modern facility located there). As well as the fine work he did with the satellite system there, he pitched in all the time and cooked lunch for the entire shift. Since then he has been such a great friend. Always had a smile and good word for you. He will certainly be missed by not just us, but anyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
