Just fond that he had passed... Swam for him at Portage for years... during the New pool and the inside pool. Swam with Erika. It was so long ago....

The best coach I ever had at any level! I missed him after he left Portage Park. It was great seeing him years later at Leaning Tower YMCA.

God let us know at Psalm 38:9 that he will help us doing distress.

Jack was a competitive man. But a man who would help any swimmer or water polo player who asked. His smile will be missed RIP.

Jack generated enthusiasm and encouragement for fellow Champion swimmers on the great Fenwick Swim Teams in the 1950's for outstanding swimmers Dr Bill Scanlon, Dr John Morrissey, Mike Niec and me. He inspired all of us to swim our best under the guiding eyes of Coach Dan O'Brien, master motivator of winning teams. We all learned that hard work is a way to a meaningful and successful life. Jack, you've won gold again!
