Jack and I shared a lot of adventures on the road with the tours, but it was the time spent with Jack and Sally as friends that I remember the most. They were an example for us all, I especially remember that in these dark times. Miss ya, Maxsons!!

I echo Kieran's sentiments - Jack was a true Gentleman - calm in crisis - quietly strong - and true to kindness, honor and dignity. Many great and personal memories will be with me forever as I wish "Jaxson" his well-deserved rest and peace.

Jack was a Gentleman of the old school.
He was very kind to this "wet behind the ears" Lighting Designer in 1979.He was also a mean sound mixer !
My condolences to all his family and his many friends.
