Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to the Rosenbaum family at this time of loss. I knew both Jack and Art in San Francisco when we were all young. Jack was kind enough to write a short article about me when I won a horse jumping compeition at the Stanyan Street Riding Academy. Both Jack and Art were fine gentlemen.

To the Rosenbaum Family,

Jack Rosenbaum was a great writer with legions of fans, a true San Franciscan. I remember my father calling Jack to correct a statement he had made, saying that General Stilwell had been spotted on Market Street. My father told Jack, "If General Stilwell was spotted on Market Street, it should be front page news! He died at Letterman Army Hospital in 1946!"

The members of Acacia Lodge No. 243 F&AM wish to extend their deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Jack Rosenbaum in this time of sorrow.

I remember his brother Art very well. I never had the opportunity of meeting Jack. Art was the Chronicle Green Sheet sports writer covering what are now known as the How Boys- The 1951 Stanford football team. He accompanied us on our trips interviewed us after home games- also the '52 Rose Bowl game, and was a joy to talk to- he was a straight shooter and I imagine that Jack was also.

They were both part of the Bay Area that was great and I wish it were so today.

San Francisco has lost one of it's good one's. I remember my Father reading Jack's column in the Call Bulletin and the Progress.

God bless Jack

I used to enjoy reading Jack's columns. Occasionally he would feature a story about my "eccentric" sister.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
