Not sure what to say?

eileen...how sorry i am of your loss but i will tell you that which you already know he was as an honorable man i ever met

Jack was such a joy to work with. He always had ITD and our staff in his mind as he made decisions. He was loved and respected by our employees as we knew he always had our best interests at heart. It has been such a gift to know him.

Dear Eileen, Mary Ellen and Family and Combo Families,

We were deeply saddened to hear of Jack’s death; you are all in our hearts and prayers as you walk your own Way of the Cross this Holy Week. He has gone home ahead of you into the Light. We pray for a special mercy in the months ahead to help soothe the pain and yearning when they at times will seem to be too heavy a burden to endure.

Jack has always been one of my favorite “friends’ Dads”, and that now for over 40...

Jack and family took Jeanette and I under his wing when we moved to Idaho. It was the kindest gift we could hope for. But, this was the way my friend was to all. He will be missed by many. Idaho should be as proud of this great man as I am.

I never personally met your father, but I feel I met him through the grace, love, and commitment of his daughter. My love to your family and my condolences to those who will miss him. May happiness come in the realization that we will see him again in the presence of our risen Lord. Faith alone in Christ alone. Michael David Weis

Dear Eileen,Kathyrn and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Jacks death. I so enjoyed seeing him when I came to Boise to visit.He was a true gentleman, and there are so few of them these days. I know the empty place that will be in all of your hearts with him gone.We all know that he is now in the peaceful and loving embrace of his risen Lord.Our thoughts are with you all.

Dear Eileen and Family
Jack was my friend and mentor. I have thought about him many times since we left Idaho. He was truly a great man and is on my list of the top 10 persons I ever met. I wouldn't doubt that he is the Chief Counsel for St Peter right now.

Dear Combo Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
It's awfully hard to say the final good-bye to a wonderful Dad, even when you know that he is home.
You're in thoughts & prayers during this Holy Week and in the long days and months ahead.
God Bless you all, Ann Haire Lee
