Not sure what to say?

A true gentleman in the workplace and life in general.

I was a high school classmate of Jack. We knew each other and had a casual relationship. He integrity was without challenge and I don't know a better tribute. Our community has been blessed to have him in it!!!

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Beth, the boys and all of Jack´s extended family members. I was blessed to have had the benefit of working for Jack. Honesty, compassion and an unending desire to improve the community he cared so much for. So many of the educational opportunities and infrastructure that the citizens of the greater Alton area take for granted today, Jack had a major hand in bringing to fruition . . . and is why Jack will live on in so many ways in the Riverbend...

May God bless your family, Rest in peace.
