To the Stebbins Family:

Please accept my deepest sympathy. John was such an interesting, kind person. I enjoyed his conversations. He shall be missed.

As a leader and strong voice , Jack fought with UWM to keep our area a neighborhood, not a place just for students to abuse. We shall miss that voice in the wilderness, but we shall continue the good fight. Thanks, Jack, for your caring and for your shining example of what neighbors are for. I will not forget.
