Jack was a good friend, I met him when I was active with the Commemorative Air Force.
May he rest in peace.

It was always my honor to fly with Jack on behalf of the Commemorative Air Force. He was an active and contributing member with some great stories and dedicated to our mission, "Lest we forget."
Semper Fi, Jack.

Regina and I offer our sympathy. We have worked with Jack all the years that we have had the Junkers Ju 52, and his heart was allways in it.
Rest in peace and "Semper Fi"
