Brillant fine actor! Shared many classes with Jack and Jessica during our sojourn with the great Tony Taccone. Watch them bring style and insight to Ginsberg it was it Ibsen at Marin Theatre Co....! Peace on my friend ! Neilo

Add to his many great skills, being a debonair host for holiday dinners and such a gracious welcomer. I will treasure memories of shared meals and theatre talk. Gone too soon. Love you, Jack.

What a wonderful obituary! Thank you for sharing it, Jessica. My prayers are with you. xoxo

I met Jack through a huge storm known to most as Jessica (with whom I shared a stage with some 20+ years ago in Rohnert Park. During that time we would usually get together with my former partner Brian for dinner and rousing conversations filled with laughter and joy. To say his presence in this world us missed is an understatement though his wicked smile and super wit will remain in all my thoughts of him for all time. Much love to you Jessica and the rest of the Powell Family

I feel very blessed to have gotten to know Jack at all and work with him a little bit. But also considered him a friend. He will live with all of us.

I had the great privilege of working with Jack for 8 consecutive years in Center REP´s A Christmas Carol I loved being a fellow story teller along side him. He was always wonderful to work with and I will always remember and hold close his Scrooge. Not only was Jack a fine actor, but he was also a kind and wonderful human. I always loved seeing Jack with his beautiful wife Jessica and my prayers and thoughts are with her and the rest of his family as they navigate through this deep time of...

An honor indeed to have shared the stage with Jack in days/daze gone by. A powerful voice and a prescence that left the stage with direct hits to the hearts and minds of the audience. RIP Jack.

Jack was a great guy! I really enjoyed working with him in "Mary Wives" and "Inherit the Wind". He was an excellent actor. He will be missed.
