Not sure what to say?

I didn´t know that Jack had passed away. We had great times in the 50´s and 60´s. He was my hairdresser for quite some time. I lost track of him over the years but I never forgot him and the times we had.

Miss you Jack. Had a dream about you cutting my hair with Uncle Victor back in Boulder day 1980s. You and Victor are back together in peace

Jack was a great friend to many!

Jack cut my hair for many years. He was a great guy. i stayed in touch with him after he retired. Just heard My 2, 2019 he had passed away. i sent him a holiday card last year (2018). It did not come back.

I knew Jack from the Presbyterian Manor, because my Mom, Ruth Jones, lived there for 7 years. My heart was always warmed by Jack's gentle nature and friendliness. Even though I didn't know the details of his life well, he touched my heart. I will miss him.

I met Jack when he started retirement living across the street from my office on the corner of 8th and Walnut. I remember the moment well; I was watering the grass early in the morning and Jack struck up a conversation with me. Thereafter, he became my closest friend. We both shared a love for Latin America, and in fact, I took him on a trip with me to Guadalajara when I heard that Frontier had started up direct flights to that city. The moment we were on the plane at DIA he was making...

I loved Jack so much he was a good friend of mine, someone I always looked up to he was my first boss in Boulder along with Sid Lewis. Jack and Sid opened The Crazy Horse Salon on the hill in Boulder I was there first employee! He was a great boss a great hairdresser and a wonderful friend. I will always remember him with love.
His sister Jane was my teacher in cosmetology school! Miss Jane was wonderful also!

Jack and I became neighbors in 1994 when I moved into Cascade Condos at 6th and Cascade. It turned out that he had been cutting my boys hair at Jack's On the Hill for years. He helped me in my garden, laid a flagstone path to street, chose plants, showed me how to trim my plants and trees, and brought over home-cooked specialties. He continued to cut my hair after he moved to his Canyon condo. I visited him at his Presbyterian Manor condo where he showed me around. I always saw him at grocery...

Jack was a good friend who also did some legal courier work for me. I met him when he lived on Walnut Street and I worked across the street. He was a good soul and I will miss his companionship.
