Aunt Helen Lee,
You and Uncle Jack were an amazing couple. I will always remember the summer vacations, playing flashlight tag with Michael & Joanna, and saying
the prayer at the supper table as a family. I love you, take care.

Coral and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Jack and want you to know that you are in our prayers. I had the privilege of Jack being my first acquisition project manager and quickly found out he was a great leader, educator and boss whom I admired and then became a trusted friend. During our travels Jack frequently spoke of his love for you and his family – it’s good to be with you, but it sure would be a lot nicer if Helen were here instead. I’m glad I had the opportunity to be with...

HELEN LEE , I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS. RICK CLIFFORD.

We want you to know that you and your family our in our daily prayers. We love you.

Ken & Carol Dacas

Dear Helen,
Jim and I are so saddened to hear about Jack. He was a great American hero. He dedicated his life to the defense of our country both as a military professional and as a civilian. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. His retirement was way too short.
Jim, Norma and family.

Dear Helen: Jan and I have you, your children, and your grandchildren in our hearts and prayers during this heartbreaking time. Jack was truly a great American, a valued friend and a brother who will be remembered for the wonder times we shared in SF, as fellow gun pilots, as action officers in the pentagon and throughout the ensuing years. I am sorry that I could not be there to share the grief. Rest in peace my brother.

Mrs. Bertelkamp & Family,

I was very saddened to hear about Jack, you have my deepest sympathy.

As a young man just starting my career, I had the pleasure of working with Jack. At the time my wife was fighting cancer and Jack offered his support. I don’t know if he really knew the positive impact he had on me. His strong words of encouragement and insightfulness provided comfort in an otherwise unbearable situation. To this day I still recall some of our conversations...

Helen, we were shocked to hear of Jack's passing. We have such fond memories of our tour in Korea with both of you. We pray for comfort for you and your children but rejoice in the knowledge that Jack is with his Lord and Savior.

Helen, Dave and I have you and your family in our prayers. We will remember Jack with love and enjoy the memories we all shared over the years. God Bless!
