Lynn & family, I was heart-broken to learn of Jack's passing. I had the honor of working with him at the Opera house, Chicago Street & 18 Artists. He was one of a kind. I'm doubly heart-broken because I'm in Memphis and unable to return in time for the memorial, but my heart will be there. His coming to see "Beauty Queen..." meant so much to me. I am so sorry for your loss.

What an amazing and genuine person Jack was. He had vision, wit and charm, plus incredible integrity. And he was kind, truly kind. A great, great man, a lovely man. To Lynn and family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I am saddened to hear of Jack's passing. He was always one of my favorite people at CTG. I loved working with him and still cherish a piece of his art that I have from the play 'Dylan'.
I wish ease for the journey for you all and know that he is with you in your hearts always as he will be in mine. I will be unable to attend Saturday as I will be out of town but will keep him in my thoughts. Blessing - Patti Shaffner
