So very sorry to learn of John's passing yesterday. I worked for John in Wisconsin starting in 1974 until I left GAB in 1983. John was one of the best people I ever worked for and with. A terrific role model and mentor. John was one of the most knowledgeable insurance professionals I have ever known. He was instrumental in my professional development in insurance claims work.... John was always a gentlemen and very well respected. He will be missed. He had a significant impact on many people's lives that will always be remembered. I am extremely glad and fortunate that my life's path crossed with John's.

Saddened to hear of Jack's passing.... I went to high school with Jack and was his fraternity brother in college. He was always a delight with his cheerful personality!
