John N. READER

To Jack's family: I am truly sorry for your loss. Jack touched my life during my 10 years working at SKW from 86 -96. He was an amazing man, and always could put a smile on my face. Renee Kroupa (Portland OR)

To the Reader Family - I am sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I worked with him on many projects and always learned something from him as he was committed to the basics of good work and good play. He is something of a legend and deservedly so. I think of him often and will continue to do so.

Wow, a great man has left our physical lives, but he's moved on, we remember "Black" Jack fondly during our March Madness. I have one specific memory of your papa coming to find us ladies with mistletoe held over his head, and of course, with his charm, how could we decline. Love and hugs to Jack's family. He was legendary! Shelly Scott, part of his Stafford King family

Our condolences to my Nephew-in-law Ron Reader and my Niece Linda(Ron's wife). From your Uncle Richard and Aunt Rosie Marrujo.

Hi Cousins - I was so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. He was such a great guy and always full of life and stories and stories and stories. He was so proud of you all. I have many fond memories of him and our times together. My love to you all.

Ron, Pamela and family, I LOVED your Dad! He was a GREAT guy! He always wanted to make people laugh! He reminded me of my Dad, my husband and my son, all with that dry sense of humor. Even when YOU (or I) don't think they're funny, they think they are! And they NEVER change -- that's just who they are!

If I knew your dad grew up in Utah, I'd forgotten. I also didn't know about his service to our great country. Praise God for him and others who protect this world from evil.

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I greatly enjoyed his company while working with him in the late 1970's at Stafford King Associates. I remember working with him on Valley High School and several other projects and I especially remember throwing horseshoes in McKinley Park at lunch and the after work comaraderie. I will miss Jack and may God Bless his family.
