Not sure what to say?

JK and TK, My sincere condolence. We never got our dads together to play tennis. Maybe they will now on that center court in the sky so Hoppy can demonstrate his American Twist Serve to Jack! DAVE ANDERSEN, aka Cake Eater, Atlanta

To the Kilroy Family....your dad hired me when I was right out of high school and no one would give me a job with no experience. He and Ralph Trogdon decided to give me that chance and always treated me with such respect. He was such a kind, gentle man and I always remember working for him in my first job as a legal secretary.

Dear Lorraine and family,
You are in my thoughts right now in the loss of your dearest Jack Sr. I have so many fond memories of working with him in the profession he loved. He was an inspiration both as a mentor in the law and as a kind and good gentleman. I will never forget his great sense of humor, even in the stress of a trial setting. He touched a lot of lives with his talent, his humor and his kindness.

Dear Jack and Terry - My condolences to you on the death of your father. I'm sorry I didn't hear of this earlier. Rest easy knowing that he'll now be getting in many tennis matches with his off-times doubles partner, my father, Allan Swayze. I'm sure they'll beat the socks off anyone who dares to challenge them! My mother, Benedetta Swayze, gives her regards and condolences to you and your mother.

Dear Jack and Family,

On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to send my condolences for this loss of your father. I hope the wonderful memories of his life will be a source of strength for you and your family during this difficult period.

My best,

Alphonso Ogbuehi & Family

Dear Terry, Jack and families,
We just heard from my sister, Holly Cross, about Jack's death. She was visiting us this weekend, to attend our daughter's baby shower. We are so very sorry to learn of Jack's death. We have so many fond memories of your dad and the tremendous example he set for all of us to follow. Your family became our first friends in Kansas City. I remember Lorraine taking us to swim and dinners at your house. Jack was easy-going and personable-always made us...

Jack, Terry and families:

I was so sorry to hear of Jack, Sr.'s passing. He was a fine gentleman and an excellent lawyer. I feel privileged to have known and worked with him.

You are in my prayers.

Dear Terry and Kilroy family,
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's death. Please know that I am thinking and praying for your family during this difficult time. Your dad was certainly a very accomplished man. May God keep you and your family in his loving care.
With love,

To all the Kilroy Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. K's passing. I have missed our tennis talk the past couple of years and so wish he and I had played in the Century tournament as we discussed doing. He was a great man in all respects! Mr. K and Lorraine were quite a team; he will be missed. Sending my hugs your way -
