Barbara, Stephanie and Kathy....

I am so very sorry for all of you that Jack/Dad has died. He was a good man who cared for all of you. I am sure his loss will be felt for a long time.

Going back 37 years I see the young Jack playing tennis, sailing the yacht and in general having a great time in life. This is the way I will remember your Dad...

Stephanie and Kathy I feel your loss and hope that as time goes by you will get stronger and stronger.

All my Love,

Mark

Your Dad was truly a "Superstar" and his friendship an "Amulet". Jack will be sorely missed.

Dear Barbara, Stephi and Kath, Jimmy Carl, Allie, Ben, Lindsay and Courtney;
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Over the years, i have known your dad as the father of my friends, a mentor to me and a friend to many. In a life filled with the vicissitudes of change, Jack stood tall and unbowed- a consistently engaged and engaging man full of life, charm, wit and spirit. I have the utmost respect and admiration for all that he accomplished and achieved.

To the Sidells

I read of your dad' passing today. I am devastated. Jack taught me an invaluable lesson about who you do business with; never lend just on his credit, lend on his reputation. It was also invaluable advice on who you choose to be associated with. I wish I took it to heart earlier in my career. It always made my day when I met him years later. I will continue to think of your father as a mentor and remember his advice whenever I enter into an business arrangement.

With deepest sympathy,

Barbara, Stephanie, and Kathy:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. The times I spent with you and Jack were a highlight of my youth. It's always been a wonderful memory to reminisce about the joy of growing up in the company of your wonderful family; whether it was skiing, sailing, riding, or inspiring conversation. I have truly wonderful memories of Jack. You'll be in my prayers tonight, Danny Feuerstein

Jack was a major force in my life and in many lives. He taught me a great deal not only about finance, but about human beings. He was a true innovator, being one of the first to create and implement the concept of multiple financial services under one roof. Jack organized a group of talented professionals who worked hard with enthusiasm and humor, and accomplished a great deal.

I am very grateful to Jack for havng given me the privilege of working with him and our colleagues. I had a wonderful time working within the culture that Jack created, where we gave borrowers "the big green light" and never "sat on our assets".
