Beth,Karen and Jay,

The passing of you father and mother both bring me tears. They were so welcoming and nice to me all those years ago when I always ran over to your house uninvited. Your mom was such a great women's advocate and your dad always so funny. I remember with great fondness the frequent Sunday basketball games, with your dad's mean drive to the bucket (with some taunting), and the nice dinner I usually stayed for. I can still hear your dad's voice teaching me to...

Jay, It was my pleasure anytime I was around your father, he was a warm and interesting man. My warmest regards for your family. "Big Daddy"

Jack was a great person to be around. He was always filled with energy. Enjoyed many rounds of golf with him.
My sympathies to Jay, Karen, Beth and family.

Jack was a one of a kind, a great story teller, the life of the party. I will miss his enthusiasm, his love of life and his wisdom. My sympathy to the family.

Truly enjoyed knowing and working with Jack for over 25 years. Will be greatly missed! ..Rick & Wendy Parker, Carmel, IN

A partner, a mentor and a friend. He is missed. His greatest legacy however are his three children and their children.
With fondest memories and regards.

In my haste to express my dismay because of Jack's death, I forgot to add my name to the first message posted in this Guest Book. I now see how much more eloquent are the messages submitted after mine, and I share the sorrow expressed by each of the friends who commented.

Karen, Beth and Jay,
I'm still processing all of this. I'm so sorry. I know how much you loved him and how he loved all of you. He was truly a wonderful man and he will be missed. I know my mom will really miss him too. If you need anything, please let us know. we love you.
Love, Kathy
