John "Jack" William McDermand

Jack was truly a kind gentleman. They broke the mold with Jack. He was a table mate with my dad Les Weil when they lived at Linden Estates. They were both ex-bankers so i'm sure they had interesting conversations. Dad would look down at Jacks shoes and say "wow Jack those are beautiful leather shoes." He definitely knew how to dress. When Jack moved over to Linden Court I would see him in the dining room when I went to visit my mother. He was always singing. He will be missed. Linda and Bill...

Both Jack and Clarice are to be thanked for their gifts of music to the people of North Platte. We are sure they are smiling down from heaven to see both their grandsons continuing the family tradition of providing music.

Jack was a wonderful person and a great man. He always helped my grandma at the McDonald State Bank. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

May perpetual light shine upon Jack. Jack hired me in 1978 as a "gopher" for McDonald State. It was a great job for a college kid and Jack was a prince to work for. I loved working at the bank and when I graduated from college, Jack gave me the best career advice, which did not include working in banking. I always enjoyed visiting with him at the coffee shop over the years. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to see of Jack's death. I got to know Jack and Clarice through my mother and step-father, Hazel and Charles McCarthy. Always thought that they were just the neatest couple and so interesting. Jack and Charles McCarthy were truly gentlemen and always dressed for the occasion.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
