Rose, John and David,
I just heard this sad news. Your Dad was a very special man. It was my honor to have known him. He was so good to me and my girls when we were living with my folks on Ramsgate Terr. He will be missed but the memory of his kindness and helpful manner will go on. Best to you all,

I smile when I think of Jack. I represented the NLRB training office when he and I worked on several ALJ-NLRB projects. His cheerfulness and his wit were exceptional, and it was a sad day for me and many others when he retired many years ago. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Jack's family, but I feel like I know some of you because of his great love for all of you. My prayers are with all of you. Eleanor (Ellie) Harvey.

Rose Ann, John, & David: I am so sorry to hear the news that your Dad passed. Oh the memories of living on Ramsgate Terrace come to mind. John, I remember the trip we made into D.C. to look at that old Jaguar - I was so amazed at how your Dad new all the back streets to get us to where ever that thing was. My heart goes out to to each of you and I will keep your Dad in my prayers. God Bless.

With sadness, I want to offer my condolences on Jack's passing. I know that the affection and esteem that I had for Jack are shared by all of his former colleagues. Jack devoted his life to serving others.
