Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies in the passing of Jack. I have many fond memories of him walking the floor of Batts Inc in Zeeland. A very genuine man that took great pride in his company.
Thank you,

Dear Batts Family,
My sympathies go out to each of you. What a great 12 years I had spent at Batts. Jack was truely a kind, creative presence. We would share boating stories about my father and Jacks experiences. He has left a great legacy. It was a privilege to know him.

So sorry for your family's loss. I have many fond memories from my time at Batts. My deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire Batts family.

We have such fond memories of Jack. Our hearts are with you.
Much love,

Dear Nancy, Jim and Family,

I was so sorry to read of Jack's death. What a legacy he and you all have left here in West MI! Some of my fondest memories are sailing in the LMSRF against Jack and crew on Midge's boat the Sleeping Bear. I know my parents Paul and Char Johnson enjoyed their connection with Jack and you Nancy. My deepest sympathy to you all.

I was saddened to read the obituary of Jack's passing in the GR Press.

It was a privilege to have worked for 9 years for such a wonderful company as Batts, Inc.

I especially enjoyed the conversations that he and I shared, although brief during my time there.

With my profound sympathy.

To the Batts family,
I am sorry to hear of Jacks passing and for your loss. I truly enjoyed being part of the "Scaramouche" team both hear and in Sardinia. My thoughts are with you all.

Batts family,

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of your husband, father, or grandfather was his contagious smile. You have my most sincere condolences.
