I had the honor of working with Jack at IBM Endicott during the mid 1960s. He also got me and my wife to go to the Barber Shop Concerts in Binghamton - he is probably leading a quartet in heaven now. Our heartfelt sympathy for his family.

I worked with Jack for several years at IBM Owego. My wife Dodie and I spent many memorable visits with Maggie and Jack at their home on the St. Lawrence River. We also attended several of Jack's Barber shop and church choir performances. He will be missed. Dick Planck, Cedar Park, TX.
