Not sure what to say?

Missing you Jack! Tempered with time but the hole remains. Al hits the nail on the head. You would be a proud father and grandfather indeed!

18 years is a long time. Sade still plays on Sunday mornings with pancakes flipping. This year it all feels extra real even after all this time. So grateful my brothers. They have made me everything I am today and continue to hold me and our family up. You would be proud. Strong, kind, dependable, loving, honest, sincere, generous, creative, funny humans they are.

What a guy! Energy and creativity at max speed always. Jack was my business neighbor in 1979. He created the business logo for Rugworks, that is used to this day! At the same time he was cultivating band , Orphan. His goal was to get them a showcase for LA music producers to hear them . Jack accomplished that one fantastic evening at SR JC auditorium. Jack was resplendent in a white suit and cape! Very much the impresario. Orphan got their record deal! Oh that Jack.

The years pass but missing you doesn't seem to. Forever my brother.

I miss you brother!

Every year I am reminded about his passing. He is forever part of my past. He was such a blast, but he was really a genuine friend. What became an artist/endorsee thing turned into a very dear friendship. I was just at Namm this year making the rounds and saw some people I haven't seen for a long while. Getting back into the music business now and I could feel his presence especially at Namm! The Memories we had fill the void of your loss! sail on Captain jack! Sail On!

Just thinking of my good old music friend. What a memory. We would have had many more good times. Jack you were a special person to many. My CD coming out will have a special dedication to you
