Not sure what to say?

I was close with the Greshams when I lived in Atlanta. Jack and my sister knew each other and I lived with his brother Orme at one point. I did not know he had passed until I searched the intranet looking to reconnect with him.i am sorry to see he is no longer with us. Both Jack and Orme are very much missed.

I knew Jack from our Westminster years and he was a family friend. I have very fond memories of a ski trip with our families and a camp we attended when we were young. Just like both his parents, Jack was very witty and kind and seemed to always have a unique perspective on things. I will miss him very much.

I'm a Westminster classmate. Although I only saw Jack at reunions in recent years, he was always someone you could count on for a smile and a kind word. A little of our history is gone.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Jack's death. I considered him a good friend in high school and sorry that I had not seen him in many years. Jack was somebody that everyone liked and enjoyed being around. My thoughts and prayers are with his family today.

I've known Jack since we were three in preschool. In memory, I can only see his face grinning...You are missed, Jack.

Jack was a friend and classmate of my brother's at Westminster, who I remember my mom picking up in carpool when I was a small child.

Jack became my friend and frequent dinner companion at Peachtree Battle shopping center, and it was always fun to reminisce about our families and people that we had in common. I moved to Chicago two years ago, and had not...

I last saw Jack at our Westminster Reunion lunch. He was very happy with his life at that time, living the life of a "Playboy" with no long term obligations to worry about.

It was wonderful to see Jack at our last Westminster Reunion!! He was happy and excited to be there! He leaves behind many great memories his friends will carry with them. I am very sorry for what I know must be a devastating loss.

The measure of man is his character and the content of his heart. That seems to be at odds with the world some times. Jack was a good man with a good heart. His kindness and generousity made me a better musician. I was my best self with him and will miss him te terribly.
