Dear Phyliss<

I am so sorry to hear that Jack passed away. I remember both of you from many years ago. My husband ,Alan Freeman,who was a former Republican State Committeeman,was very fond of Jack. Alan passed away in 2006. I remember the great times we had together at political events. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children during this difficult time.

Dear Phyllis,

Jack was indeed the doyen of Confederate philately. He will be missed by so many who knew him well and others who knew him only through business transactions and reputation. He's a hard act to follow.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and the family during this difficult time.

Phyllis,

We were saddened to hear of Jack's passing. We are out of touch down here in Florida, and only found out via Howie Carr's article in the Herald. It brought a little smile , thinking of the old story. We hope all goes well in the future. You were always very kind to Karen during our years at Oakley. God bless to you and your family.

Mr. Molesworth,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear Phyllis,

The sad news came to me from a mutual friend in New Hampshire, but it brought back memories of happy times in the GBYRC.

Best Wishes,

Phyllis - My sincerest condolences to you and the family. I knew Jack for 35+ years and very much admired his philatelic knowledge. He will be missed by many! He was a great man and a gentleman!

Dear Phyllis,

Fran and I send you and the family our best wishes at this difficult time. We both remember fondly our experiences in Boston while I worked for you and Jack.

Still remember the great Italian restaurant you took us to. Sorry I didn't keep in better touch.

All the best,

Dear Phyllis,

I was so saddened to hear of Jacks passing ..... he was always a gentleman to me and I enjoyed some fun times with him. I recall him taking me to the horse races in 1978 when I was just in the process of moving from Houston back to Boston. I also enjoyed the afternoons visiting at your home.....and enjoying stamps and covers.

Jack will be missed by so many - he did live a rich and very full life.

My prayers are with you.......

Jack at his Hobby, 1979
