Not sure what to say?

Ironic that I got this message. I am currently fishing for permit in Belize as I read this. I am also a fisher of men. Little time, little water. Peace, Groot

On Easter morning, Jack's joyous voice would say "Jesus is Risen" to which Jack Rogers would respond "Christ is risen indeed!" I want to remember that day and night, Christmas and Easter. Love

Maureen and family So sorry to learn of Jack´s passing. I invited him to lead several retreats at our church in Indianapolis. He always did an outstanding job. Jack recommended Hope College to our daughter Emily. She truly loved it there and made Michigan her home. Our prayers surround the Stewart Family Gary and Becky Ziegler

I was blessed beyond measure to be Dr. Stewart's student at Princeton Theological Seminary. He was one of the kindest people I have ever known, a tireless beacon of warmth and tenderness. I thank God for him, and send my love and prayers to the Stewart Family.

Maureen, I am saddened to learn of the loss of your husband. It's been a long time since we've been in touch, but when I heard this news I wanted to send you my love and prayers at this difficult time. Peace to you and all your family.

I met Jack when he came to Princeton Seminary in the fall of 1992 -- my middler year. His initial course offering caught my eye -- as I was looking toward parish ministry -- and I dropped an already-scheduled course with Diogenes Allen to take Jack's! After that course, Jack asked me for my notes, and had his secretary type them up. I suspect that -- due to both his recent relocation and vast related experience -- he had just taught the course "seat-of-the-pants," and just wanted a record...

Our condolences to all the Stewart family. Titus Family

Keith and family, wishing you peace, comfort, prayers, and love at this time ofsuch sorrow! Our hearts go out to you all at this difficult time. Keep your memories close. Love, Jodi and Britt Britton

Maureen, I´m sending you and Jack´s family my sympathy and prayers at this difficult time!
