I cannot express how saddened I am to learn this terrible news. I worked with Jack at Berridge Pharmacy during high school, college breaks and summers. I remember looking forward to working with him Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings. We were able to stay in touch through the years. He was always very supportive of my family and me. I so enjoyed his sense of humor and good natured teasing. I am proud to consider him as a friend. My heartfelt sympathy to Jack's sons, grandchildren, family and friends.

This world lost a truly great man, and my best friend. Working together was a great joy but visiting with him and Leslie in Vegas is something I will always treasure. I will miss our regular telephone conversations and all the laughs, jokes and serious talks. REST IN PEACE MY GREAT FRIEND, from someone that misses you already.
