Not sure what to say?

Jack,I'll miss being your neighbor for 30 years. Bet you're telling our Dear Lord and Savior "to put me in charge with spinning wrenches"!. Good, because I'm NOT good with the new stuff.

Jack was definitely one of a kind. We played at least one round of golf a year with the AGA group where I met him . He was a class act. Godspeed Jackson....

I loved Cousin Jack and he loved his games. We were able to share years of cousin reunions at the Oregon Coast. The first thing Jack would do when he arrived was to pull out the deck of cards and the cribbage board. He would play all afternoon if he could find a willing partner. He has been an important part of my entire life and I miss his presence. Hugs to Janet and all the family. Jo Ann Hardy

Reliving fond memories of training for and running the Boston Marathon with Jack. Thinking of you all.

I worked with Jack at KGW TV for most of those 20 years (in sales) and Hired him to come work for me at KPDX TV when I was a manager there. He was a top notch ad Salesman. We Had many Lunches together and spent a lot of fun times together and with other TV colleagues. I send my condolences to Janet and and family. Dale Coloma

I worked at KGW-TV as a Sales Assistant in 1976 and Jack had the office to the right of my desk. Every day, without fail, he took off for a run at lunchtime. And KGW had accommodations so he could shower and freshen up. I loved his wry sense of humor, and he had the winning personality that ensured his success in sales there.
