John Cecil Fitch

Dear Bill,

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your father. I did not know until I read about his very wonderful life and many accomplishments that he and I shared not only the same alma mater, but the same fraternity as well.

Yours,

Dutch Barhydt

To Bobby and all the family:
We have lost a great friend. Jack, the orginal curmudgeon, was an absolutely delightful human being. Honest, warm, generous and always helpful; we will miss him terribly. He was a special man.
