Both personally and on behalf of Boys Town Jerusalem, we extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of a most cherished friend. Jack, of blessed memory, together with his beloved Sylvaia, were valued members of the Boys Town extended family.Their care, concern and generous support over the decades helped countless youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds and enabled Boys Town to ful fill its mission of turning young boys from limited backgrounds into young men with limitless futures.Their committment to the State of Israel and the Jewish people was evidenced by their record breaking number of trips (60+?) to Israel. Jack will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

My sincerest condolences. My father was Bob Phillips, owner of Shortrip Luggage. My dad was friends with Jack and Harold when they were Jad Luggage and later as Dinnofer. I knew them also and was a customer when I needed luggage. Jack was a lovely, kind man. I am so very sorry for your loss. Linda Phillips
