How our whole family will miss you, Uncle Jack; you added so much to all our family gatherings. We all have fond,fond memories of so many occasions which our families spent together; our future with you lies in those memories we hold so dear.

Goodbye Uncle Jack. You were a big part of so many of my fondest childhood memories. My thoughts are with Aunt Carol, Kendall and Martin. It is hard to lose someone so special. It is a good sign of a life well lived when people mention your passion for music and your laughter in their remembrances.

Carol: My loving thoughts to you during this painful time. I hope you will allow yourself to find solace with the children and caring friends and that in time we will see you back taking classes at OLLI. Renee

My heartfelt sympathy to Carol and all of Jack's family. I was so fortunate to meet Jack when I taught at Cerritos College when he was teaching there. We talked between classes and I was inspired by his humor and great outlook about teaching! I am blessed by having Jack and Carol in my life. Their lives have made a significant difference in my life.

I have pleasant memories of Mr. Feeney from a music class at Cerritos Colllege in the late 70's. Years later I and my children would encounter him on our walks in our Los Altos neighborhood and chat about the violin which my daughter was learning to play. We would also see him at Long Beach City College Orchestra performances. These encounters with Mr. Feeney always provided pleasant thoughts to my day. I am sure he will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences. Ruth Wimberley Phillips
