JOHN EASTERLY

In 2022, still remembering Jack often. One of his hobbies was refurbishing antique appliances, and in early 1996 he refurbished and rewired my mother’s old waffle iron. It was his wedding present to me, and my wife and I use it almost every Sunday morning, 25 years later. Thank you again, Jack, for our friendship back to the early sixties. I think fondly of you still. You were loved by many, including me.

Jack, I write this ? principally for your family', believing you are at my shoulder, as are our loved ones - always near in another mode, another world.
I believe you will take every opportunity to touch them from your heart, protecting them in ways ethereal, perhaps comforting them as needed while passing our understanding of it all. Peace, my brother...

Jack and I were classmates at Syracuse University studying Industrial Design. On several times I would mention his (cylinder) trash can kite that as a design project, his concept hung high in the sky, virtually motionless startling everyone. He had a crafty, inventiveness on so many levels it was a treat to watch, converse and see what vision he had for whatever. He was like a second brother to me and my family loved his dry humor when we were together, thus I suspect his TALENT...

I have treasured Jack's friendship since the early 1960's when we did sports car rallies and took photos at sports car races. He wrenched my first race car in 1966. Some of his great racing photos can still be seen on Facebook. Ten years older than me, he was an incredibly positive influence on my life. So thankful that in his later years he had Marilyn in his life.

Jack was a great friend and mentor when he and I worked for GKD Advertising. I started working at a young age. And he was always there to advise. Never forgot the things he taught me in the advertising world or the fun times we had at work and company gatherings. Rest in Peace my friend,

Jack was a friend and a highlight of my work life. We spent many years at Jordan Associates where the agency grew, aided by his taste, experience and guidance. He made every project better, every day more fun. Rest in peace.
