Not sure what to say?

My prayers and thoughts are with you this week. I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Jack. I worked with him for almost two decades. The one constant I could depend on during my tenure at WTVR was Jacks' calm, easy manner, quick wit...and smile. ( I can still see Jack in his pastel polo shirts with the turned up collar humming a jazz turn or telling me about the latest part he was purchasing for his "sporty" vehicles).
Our desks were near each other for a while, so Jack and I...

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jack gave me my first job in TV while I was still in college. Over
the past few years I would call him
sometime during the holidays and we
would share old times and really just to make sure he was doing ok.
I'm sure going to miss talking with
him during the holidays, again my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. He will be missed.

I worked with Jack Rowley at WTVR-TV in the 1980's. He was truly one of the nice guys in television. He always had a smile and helping hand -- to do whatever needed to be done. For fifty years, Channel 6 was a better place because of Jack Rowley. I hope that the students I'm teaching today will be half as successful as Jack was. It was a pleasure knowing him and working with him.
My deepest sympathies to the family.

Mark, Jane, Mark and Rachel,

My sympathy is with you during this time of sorrow.
Mark, you have been blessed with wonderful,lifetime memories of your father. His legacy to you is one of love, honor, courage and commitment.
Jane, I know from our conversations that you held Jack in the highest regard and love. Your joy in him as a father-in-law radiated each time you recounted outings and family visits.
I remember Jack as a quiet loving grandfather to...

To my friends John, Joey and Mark, we will all miss your Dad. He was a great guy with a tremendous sense of humor, a ready smile and a cheerful word. Everyone who knew him will always remember him that way. We would all do well to follow the example he set for us. May he rest in peace.

Joe, John & Mark-

I am truly sorry about the loss of your father. He was an outstanding man and role model for me as I was growing up-I learned a lot from him and he always took time to listen to me. I will always remember him not only as your Dad but as a friend.

Mark, my prayers are with you and your family.

To the Family of Jack Rowley

I recall the days spent at WTVR/TV6 working for and with JACK as being very pleasant. I was an intern, then permant hire(scared) but in the production area he was a friend and wizard . . . to Jack I say thank you and may your eternal life be all that you deserve and desire. May God continue to be those that remain on earth.

Sincerely

Mark and Jane, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. May the wonderful memories that you shared with your Dad be a source of comfort to you now.

Love and Deepest Sympathy,
