He was always a friendly face to meet on my walks. Always had time to talk. We served wine together at museum benefits; a fun positive guy. A loss to our community, I´ll miss him.Da

Jack was one of a kind. I enjoyed playing golf at St Malo with him. He is always smiling and enjoyed lovely discussions. Jack was a special person. My prayers and condolences to you all.

I have so many fond memories of being with Jack, always a rousing political discussion at dinners, fun backgammon and enjoying the perfect martini, shaken not stirred of course. I will miss him greatly, dede
