Very sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We always had good conversation and shared ideas as we attended annual Institute of Food Technology meetings in Sun Valley. Jack was a friend to many and respected for the contributions he made through his work in the food industry. Hopefully his absence will be replaced by the fond memories of family and friends. His mortal life may have ended, but I know that his spirit lives on.

I was saddened to hear the news. I have many great memories of and with Jack, starting in Avon back when we were so very young and just starting with Birdseye. Although our time with Birdseye eventually took us on different paths, we were able to keep in touch. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I will miss Jack very much.

Linda & Family: So sorry for your loss of Jack. Such a great guy and many fond memories of your days in Avon! He always had a smile and really enjoyed life. Lots of memories. Gosh I thought he was younger than us!! :) He certainly looked that way!

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." ~Leo Buscaglia

Jack was the best; what a unique and wonderful sense of humor. We spent many an hour listening to Jonathan Winter albums at his parents house in the early 1960's. Be with God old friend.
