Not sure what to say?

Kathy and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was my friend and mentor and I'll miss him. I'm glad we all had a chance to see each other in Louisville last April. I owe Jack much that could never have been repaid. Peace and Strength to you all.

Jack was very a very knowledgeable individual in so many facets of life and sports. He provided incredible guidance and he was an inspiration us all. He will be greatly missed by all of those that came in contact with him during his very fulfilling life. RIP

Hi Kathy

As one of Jack's old Tenneco friends I find the news of his passing very painful.

Jack was a great guy and I learned a lot from him.

My sympathies to you and your family.

Kathy, we have very fond memories of our times with you and Jack. Among them are Astros games, tennis doubles, and working with Jack at The Woodlands during the 1986 Olympics Festival. Such fun times and good memories. I'm sure that all of your happy personal memories of Jack will comfort you and your family during this very trying time in your lives.

Kathy and Family. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you in our prayers. I always liked Jack.

Jack was very supportive and influential to the Toyota Bluegrass Miracle League. His leadership was extremely valued on our Board of Directors. I valued his sincerity more than anything. He was always ready with an idea to help make things better.

Kathy and family, our hearts and prayers are with you. God bless . Bernie, June & family

In the little time that I knew Jack, I came to respect him greatly and counted him as a friend. He will be missed.

Although our paths only crossed briefly with his work for the Professional Disc Golf Association, I was honored to have met Jack. He was a true inspiration. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
