To all of you who knew him well, I am sorry for your loss. I only knew Jack a short time but, it was evident that he was a very caring and loving man who believed in reaching out a helping hand. My fondest memory of Jack was on his last Birthday when we went out for a milkshake. God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

Our sympathies to Jack's brother Richard and family.
Jack was a good friend of ours. I have known Jack as a dear friend since the 5th grade. He was a very special person. At every Alumni banquet from the 25th on, we three sat together. We exchanged Christmas cards and letters every year. We realy enjoyed his beautiful cards and letters. When we did not receive a card this year, we were concerned. He was a very special person and we will miss him. It was a privilege to have known him. He often spoke of you, Richard. God bless all of you. Our prayers are with you.
