Hi Blaine
You don't know me but I knew a Dr W Ralph Layland who I believe you and Jack knew. I'm sorry to say that Ralph passed away this year and you are included in his will. As one of the Executors, I'm trying to make contact and hope that perhaps this method will find you. I hope to hear from you. Cheers, Paul

Blaine - we are so sorry to run across this notice about Jack. We don't know if you are still in Palm Springs - to be such a small town it's amazing how long we go without running into anybody we know. We wish you all the best!!!

Dearest Blaine, I just did hear of Jack's Passing. I am very sad that I never got to know Jack better. We are related but the few times I ever got to meet Jack were as a young teen with my Dad John Schloeder. Jacks Father was my Dads Uncle. I just wanted to express my condolences to you. So sorry for your loss. I think I would have really enjoyed knowing both of you. Best to you.

Blaine,
I am so sorry at your loss. I had known Jack for many years and always welcomed his good nature and warmth. He was especially kind at the time I lost my partner.

Dear Blaine,I'm so sorry for your loss. My memories of Jackie were from when he was still in Syracuse. He was always fun to be around and such a gentle soul. May your memories sustain you through this difficult time. Annie (friend of Bob Hartman)
