Wow, from what I have read, this world lost a very smart man on that horrible day. I saw a tribute from a guy in a neighboring city of ours (Lewisville). My thoughts and prayers today go out to the friends and family you left behind. I want them to know that we will never forget, and we will try to honor your memory by being the best citizens that we can be. With much love from Texas.

Thinking of Bryan and his loved ones on the 10th anniversary. Was at Blacker House in May for my 35th reunion. Had hoped there might be a memorial there, but there was none. Something for the Caltech classes of 72-76 think about. Peace, Dayna Salter

I went to high school with Bryan. Of a class of 500, there were 3 of us who made positive scores on the math equivalent of a spelling bee. Bryan scored over 800, Robert Michie scored around 220 and I had a score in the 60s.

Bryan was scary smart (math and science) You could ask Bryan what 2^32 was and he'd say "I don't know, but 2^16 is 65,536 and if you square that you get uuuhhh.... 4,294,967,296." I wrote it down and looked it up, he was right. Guy could multiple two five digit numbers in his head in a few seconds.

The guy got a full ride at MIT on a physics scholarship. He used to tell
me about the "English Classes" for the scary smart. They'd all sit in a
sofa lounge chair environment and talk about literature. No tests, I'm
not even sure they were expected to read.

I gotta wonder what the world has missed out on because Bryan was taken from us early.

Bryan, my dear cousin: U.S. forces killed bin Laden today in Pakistan. He is gone, and I am glad. But you are still gone, too. And nothing will ease that pain. Please know we love you and miss you.

Bryan: In the 90s when I was working for OSD Comptroller and you were with PA&E, you encouraged me to finish up my PhD at Virginia Tech. I finally did so in 2004 and dedicated my dissertation to you. You were one of the smartest guys I ever knew, and I want to thank you publicly for your support. I'm sure you're in God's hands now, teaching math to the angels.

I knew Bryan at Caltech in the early 70's. We were both in Blacker house, but he was a couple of years ahead of me. He was a smart, clever and funny young man when I knew him. I remember fondly his roles in my freshman initiation and at the Blacker Interhouse Party, Fall of 1972. I hope his family has found peace. I remember him often, especially on this day.

My son, Steve, and Bryan were friends in first grade when he and his family lived on our street in Bellevue, NE in the 1950's. I have fond memories of him, and his family. My heart goes out to all of you who mourn his loss, and remember the goodness of his life.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of 9/11. My wife and I were at LAX waiting to take a flight to Baltimore/Washington when we saw the news on the TV monitor. After evacuating the airport and returning home, I saw the list of passengers on Flight 77. Bryan's father is my 4th cousin whom I've never met. If there were other planned flights by terrorists that day to Washington D.C. maybe we could have been on one of them?

This was a very sad day for the Jack Family. Our hearts and prayers go out to Bryan's wife, parents, family and friends.

Around 1988 Bryan and I had a deep 2.5 hour talk at the University of Maryland, wherein he made points I shall never forget.

I knew Bryan years ago in Commerce, Texas, when his parents came during several summers to East Texas State University to complete their degrees. I remember him as one of the kindest, most fun-loving and gentle people that I ever knew. Though it has been many years since I saw him or had any contact with him, I remember him fondly and grieve the loss of this fine, wonderful person. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Even though my brother (Michael) already expressed our thoughts, it is a requirement to me to let the american part of the family (Terry & Iris, Sean & Kim, Myron & Pat and all the others) know that you are deep in our hearts.
May a tragedy like this never happen again!

Although I never had the pleasure to meet Bryan Jack, I can imagine what a terrible loss it must be to his family, because his brother Terry, one of the greatest persons I ever met, is married to my aunt (who originally comes from Germany).

I want to express the deepest condolences from our part of the family once more, and if it was the murderer´s goal to hit the best people in the world, then they unfortunately have succeeded with that.

I am not only speaking for myself when I say that this tradegy has touched people in Germany and that we all feel a deep solidarity with the American people. I do not have the words to express the support and deep friendship we feel, but I found a poem by Robert Frost that comes close:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go, before I sleep

And miles to go, before I sleep

I met Bryan years ago at a week long retreat in Virginia. I remember his brilliance, his humility and his warmth. Although it has been more than a decade since we have spoken I still remember him. Although I only knew him for one short week I felt like my life had been added to by meeting him. I am sure that his family and friends miss him terribly. I send you all love and condolences. Sincerely Willy Kaye

As a member of the greater Jack family, I am always saddened by the loss of one of us. Bryan's loss is tragic to be sure, but I am heartened by the love he received in life and by the continuing love and remembrance he will have hereinafter.

His memory will be in my heart each time I think of Texas or Japan (where I spent many years), the DoD (where I worked for years), or when I eat a piece of pecan pie (my favorite!).

My love to his family and friends.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Brian - Enjoyed talking to you on the subway a few weeks ago before you passed away. I always enjoyed your company as we worked together in OSD PA&E from 1981-1985 with John Morgan and Milt Margolis. Sorry I did not get a chance to meet your bride or take up your invitation to visit you in the Pentagon. May god rest your soul and my sincerest condolences to your family.
