I was a Marine Sgt aboard the USS Oriskany Marine Detachment. We loved him and he loved his Marines. God Bless Sir

Jack was my closest friend these past 65 years and we flew together in two wars. He and Dixie often shared vacations with Edith and myself and while I will miss Jack's humour and guidance Edith and I will certainly remain very close to dear Dixie and her wonderful family..

I first met Jack and Dixie when they would pick up their grandchildren from my preschool. He was the greatest Granddad ever and loved all his grandchildren.

In 1990 I first met Jack Kenyon at the Bailey's Rotary Club. In every instance and in every moment of any time with him it was a genuine and distinct experience. An American leader and generous man in every regard. He treated me and everyone he came into contact with as very special and was inspirational by his example. Condolences to the family.

Although I did not know Jack as well as some did, I know he was a wonderful man. Kimberliey and I have lost a great friend and role model.
