Jack was an extraordinary human being. An outstanding lawyer and community leader, he was also a warm and caring person. His smile could light up a convention center. He enjoyed life and lived it to the full. He will be greatly missed.
Sally and I extend our deep sympathy to Rachel and the family. Jim and Sally Smith

Mrs. Gherlein, John, Claudia, Ann and families, so sorry to read about the passing of your great dad. A fine man, devout Clevelander and a great example of personal and professional commitment and excellence. I so enjoyed his company since we first met in pre-school, John.
