Not sure what to say?

Everyone knows how accomplished Jack was, smart , funny and kind. But the one thing that struck me about Jack was what a GENTLEMEN he was and how respectful he was of people. He was a rare gem in today's world. We all have lost a very special person. My prayers are now for his family and my dear friend Susan during this time. God comfort you and keep Jack vivid in your minds. He leaves all of you a special part of himself through all the wonderful memories you have shared. May those times...

Jack's passing is so very sad, that goes without saying. My heart breaks for my dear friend who has lost her partner, soulmate and friend. We only had the pleasure of meeting Jack once when they came to visit for the weekend. We didn't want them to ever leave. I think we really clicked as a foursome and I looked forward to many more outings together. Susan, I hope you know we are here for you. I know Jack would want you to continue to enjoy all life has to offer. We love you Toni & Barry


In loving memory of Jack Whitcomb.

Jack was always tons of fun. He always did everything with us, never letting us see how tired he was. Even if he was exhausted, he would still push a little further to make us happy and spend as much time with us as he could. He's done so many amazing things and impacted so many lives. I wish he was still here today so I could tell him just how much he means to all of us.

My favorite memory with...

Jack and Susan celebrating the 4th of July a few years ago at my house

The thing I will miss the most is simply Jack being here with Susan. They were a great couple and shared a wonderful life. One of my favorite recollections is seeing Jack and Susan tooling around with the top down, ball cap and sun hat side-by-side, laughing and waving. I'll miss his storytelling, as well as his eye rolling when Susan and I shared our adventures or opposing views with him at happy hour or over dinner. And I'll miss watching him huddle with my husband Ed to yak about college...
