December 30, 1927 - November 4, 2015 Dr. Jack Share, 87, of Sherman Oaks, passed away on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, surrounded by family. He was born in Chicago, IL and was a graduate of Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights, CA. He went on to earn his teaching credential, master's degree, and a PhD in Psychology. Jack's life was driven by his passion for helping others. During the Korean War, he served as an army psychologist in La Rochelle, France. He went on to teach as an Associate Professor of Education at Victoria University in New Zealand and then at UCLA's Special Education Division of the Graduate School of Education. After leaving UCLA, Jack opened a private practice as a clinical and educational psychologist where he continued working full-time until his death. In his recent years, the majority of his time was spent doing pro-bono work with The Soldiers Project and as the Vice Chairman of VeteransConnect. These nonprofits provide free services to military members and veterans. Jack is survived by Armony, his wife of 63 years, along with his siblings Abie (Madge), Evelyn (Jerry), and Joe (Sheri).

Every so often I think of Jack Share and how much he helped me when I most needed help. What a kind, compassionate and wise man he was...although it has been 34 years since I last saw him, I remember Jack like it was yesterday. I hope he's one on the five people I meet in heaven. Thank you, Jack, for making my life far better.

To The Share Family & Friends,
I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Share at a time when I was at my lowest, following my return from the Iraq War. His listening, his patience, and his efforts helped me immensely. I will remember him as a beautiful man with an even more profoundly beautiful soul!
To his wife Armony, his children, and his entire family, thank you for sharing him with the Veteran community. My deep and sincerest condolences y un fuerte abrazo!
Dr. Share, thank you for your wisdom, time, and friendship. There are no words to express to you the immense impact you have had on my life. I will love you always!!
Fair Winds and Following Seas.

My son, Sam, and I just learned about Jack's passing. We were very saddened about that. Jack helped us through lots of challenges and we will always remember him fondly. He was loving and gentle....my son loved going to his office as a youngster, not only because of how warm and loving Jack was, but also for the oatmeal cookies. Jack was a mensch and a great professional. We will think of him fondly, always.

For all that Jack was to so many, the greatest legacy anyone can leave is his family. Jack & Armony, you sure did good! The love, heart, poise and humor that was evident at the memorial service was a tribute to you all. I know the "stories" about Jack must be infinite, but the words spoken at his service are the most memorable to me. You all did him proud. xxoo
