To all whom loved Jack,
My spouse Merritt told me of many events which involved Jack, from time shared at Lake Lotowana to fishing trips in Canada. All of these were humerous during the telling. Jack was warm and friendly during our times together. He shall be missed.

Jickie ~ what a wonderful friend and neighbor. I enjoyed our many good times together at Parkway Towers (and other locations) ~ especially when I was "meals on wheels." He was a terrific person and I enjoyed our 40-year friendship.

Please know my prayers go out to the family and to Jack. He was an early mentor of mine. I came to KMBR as a young kid back in '75 and Jack was there. Always with words of encouragement and praise, he did a lot for a young broadcaster's ego and helped me to appreciate how lucky we were. Funny, I haven't seen him much in the past 20 years or so but was thinking of him just a couple of weeks ago. God speed, my friend.

Dear friends and relatives of Jack, My heartfelt thoughts of love go out to all of you. Memories came flooding back when I read about Jack. I met Jack at KCKN in the early 50's. He was in sales at that time and I was secretary/traffic Mgr. He offered to sing at my wedding in March, 1957 at Unity Temple on the Plaza. Please know Jack will never be lost to you for your memories of him will forever live on.
Love and Blessings,
Mary Trumbauer

Our family shared many good times at Lake Lotawana, along with the Fricke family and Jack. He was truly a class act.

Uncle Jack - although not a blood related will always hold a special place in the hearts of me and my brother and sisters. As children he was always around and we shared many great times at his lake house. We loved him like a blood relative and will miss him. Our condolences - The Warnock Family - Clare, Donnie, Barbie, Julie & Sherri
