Dear Jolinda and family,
It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Jack. I know what you are going through as I lost my beloved Joan on Valentine's Day in 2015.
I hope your life with Jack was filled with the kind of love and happiness that Joan and I enjoyed. The memories, while so sad, are also so sweet. I am so grateful to have shared so many years with here. I hope the same for you and Jack.

Our condolences go out to your entire family. Jack and Jim worked together for five years at Commonwealth Edison's nuclear engineering department. Jack was always professional, and his keen insights from his time in the Navy were always appreciated. Many years later we were reunited became our wives worked at the same school district.
Please accept our deepest sympathy in your loss.

My sympathy to Jo, Yngvar, Kris, Lara and Var as well as extended family and friends, including me. I first met Jack when he and Jo moved to Pepper Tree Farms in Palatine in 1969. We were young marrieds with babies in a new subdivision in our new home town. Some of my favorite memories are Jack on the bongo board, summer nights on their deck, and Jack's ability to cut. a sheet cake in exactly the same size pieces. RIP dear friend.
