Read MoreJack was an extremely bright, kind, personable and focused person. Hartford probably would not have recaptured its waterfront had it not been for Jack's persistence, vision and exceptional Leadership of Riverfront Recapture. I had the privilege of being on the Board and the Executive Committee with him and witnessing first hand his magic. An outstanding man. It was a privilege to know him.

Mr. Riege was like a second father to me. Very caring, supportive, and helpful. I'll always remember him sitting around the house with a yellow legal pad of paper, joining in the conversations, laughing. He was always "right there" for all.

I have nothing but fond, happy memories of Mr. Riege. Somehow, he always had a smile for his children's friends, and I have memories that are very dear to me. I'll picture him in tennis whites, toweling off after a swim, or sailing peacefully in handout of the cove. We will miss him and his warm presence. He lived a good life, making a difference to the world around him. Lucky for all of us that it was a long life; a gift
