Jack always made life easier for everyone he worked with, either by covering for others so they could have an extra bathroom break, making slushies on hot days or representing them on union issues. He was a joy to work with and we all will miss him. Ida Krueger

My condolences to the Martinez family. Jack always put a smile on my face. He was a good man. I worked with him for many years and lost track of him because of transfering out of state but thought of him often. He went out of his way to get taco shells for me from Saginaw, that's the kind of person he was. I am proud to of known him.
