Jack was truly a gentle man. I was always impressed with his character. I never heard him speak ill of anyone, and most times he had something very nice to say about whomever he was with. I'm glad I knew you and am saddened at this loss.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I've known Jack since the days @ C&C Electric. I learned a lot from him. He was a great teacher and I always enjoyed working with Jack. Work was never dull when you worked with him.
