John A. "Jack" Talbott

My name is Ken Yu, I've just found out that Mr. Talbott has pass away in 2023. I´m sorry to hear that. I worked at Talbott Associates from 1989 to 2003. Jack was a great engineer and an outstanding employer. I learned a lot from him, and he inspired those who worked around him. He will be deeply missed."

I met Jack and Ruth just a few times. The first was about 20 years ago and the last was about 14 years ago. You couldn't find nicer people. Jack's grandfather, John Lawrence, who lived in Pueblo, CO and my grandfather, Kyle, who lived in Pratt, Kansas were brothers.

My sincere condolences are offered to the Talbott family. I met Jack in the late seventies when we attended the monthly SEAO meetings, ASCE meetings, and other professional engineering functions. He was an expert in Civil-Structural Engineering as well as Mechanical Engineering, a rather rare combination of expertise. Moreover, he was a specialist in Forensic Engineering. For twelve years, he lectured in the course I taught at PSU, "Forensic Structural Engineering". Students and faculty had...

Uncle Jack was an incredible example of family devotion, love, and support. He will be sorely missed.

Ann, so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. Colonel Thomas

My sincere condolences. I only met Jack a couple of times through my dad, Tom Miles Sr, who carried a tremendous respect for him and valued him as a colleague. His kind demeanor and genuine respect for people was notable. From what I knew and heard of him he was the sort of gentleman we should all emulate.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I think I taught classroom music to all of the Talbott girls at the Madeleine. Jack and Ruth were so supportive. And I can scarcely think of either one without a smile on his or her face. Blessings and peace to all of you. Christine Weber Kearney
