Amazing man and heres a testament to that

He hired me at People Inc, he had recruited Marisa Mourgues a couple months before i applied for the job. She met me at the door the day of my interview and there was something magical about her, i just knew it.

Jack called me on the way home from the interview to offer me the job.

I ended up marrying Marisa and we have a family together now

Jack was a great man and the best boss ever. Sadly when i saw he passed on June 2nd i couldnt help but think of the somewhat cosmic beauty, this man who changed my life forever passed on June 2nd

My birthday June 1st my daughters June 3rd

Jack was a bridge to the amazing life i have now

Thank you Jack you are missed
