My father Brian Wells wanted me to pass a message on to Jack's family. We just heard from Graham Street today that Jack had passed away. We are sorry to hear the news. Dad says it would have been a big funeral because Jack was around for such a long time at TISCO and was so well liked. Dad was at TISCO with Jack for about 30 years. Our codolences to the family,
