About 17 or 18 years ago, as a young lawyer in St. Louis, I worked with Jack and Jim Nangle on a case. Jack was a gentleman and a great storyteller. I know he will be missed by many.

I can't remember a time in my life that I was not aware of the Niemann family and how much my parents (Bill and Sue Anderson) treasured their long-time friendship spanning many decades.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Jack's passing. He was a precious man and was always so good to me though I was just a 'step' niece. I remember the fun holidays at the big house in Kirkwood - he sat in his chair in the family room and tried to distract the dog (a Weimaraner, I believe) from the commotion of the guests. Such a sweet man. My thoughts are with you all. xoxo Michelle Davis Sanders (Carol's daughter)
