Such a wonderful man who always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I loved that no matter where he saw you, whether at UMB or elsewhere, he spoke to you and made you feel so comfortable. He will be missed by so many. May all the great memories of him and his deeds comfort his family through this difficult time.

Jack was always so kind to me no matter if I was a teller and later as an officer. You couldn't walk into Correspondent Banks without sitting down and talking, even if I came to see someone else. He did a wonderful job with the 20/20 dinner and seemed to enjoy it. He had a way of making everyone around him comfortable and of course always wanted to joke around after the business was done. Rest in peace, Jack. I'm proud to have known you!
