I just heard about his passing. I'm stunned. I worked with Jack back in the days of Armored Services. I also worked with him as a fellow Reserve officer from 1994 until 2008 when I retired. You will be greatly missed my friend. My deepest condolences and sympathies to Nancy and the rest of the family. RIP Jack Reader, you served your community well and I'm honored to have called you friend, co-worker and mentor. You will be missed.
