I was deeply saddened to learn of Jack's passing. I worked with him for a few years and even after I left the company, I always went back to visit. We would have long talks about all kinds of things. He was such a happy and kind/caring man. I enjoyed his company and I will miss him sincerely. I am so glad that I got the chance to know such a great man. My deepest sympathies to you, Evelyn, and your family.

I was sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jack and getting to know him personally and professionally. He was a smart, loyal, caring person with a great sense of humor and I'm better both personally and professionally from having known him.
