Not sure what to say?

Jack Douglas was a great tennis player and an all around athlete at Santa Monica High School.

Jack and I competed against each other on the tennis court, played doubles together occasionally, and we were friends. He was a class act! I had great respect for him as a competitor and a person. And I miss him.

You left us far too soon Jack. Always great memories of you and JDCo. Thank you for all the opportunities you created for me and so many others. Malcolm.

It is hard to really understand how long Jack has been gone now. In rereading his tribute today it keenly reminded me of just how fortunate I was to have Jack and his company want me to be part of their team. He gave me opportunity and insights that stay with me to this day. I was honored to be on his team. I also have so many wonderful people still in my life today as a result of my 14 years at JDCo. All my very best to Jack's great family.

Think of you often. Love, Stella

I may have already said something about Jack (Jon, but I called him Jack). But I knew Jack well from the tennis circuit and from hearing about his legendary athletic achievements when I first moved to Southern Cal from Arizona. He was a few years older than me, and I followed his progress in the junior and at Stanford. He was one of my early idols.
Jack was a great competitor, and we had many tough battles on the tennis court, but it never impacted our friendship. I loved and respected...

Jon was a man who was highly respected in the real estate and business community. When he and the late Don Hecker brought me on in a management position at Jon Douglas Commercial, I knew that I joined a company with a great track record and was highly respected throughout the industry. There are a lot of agents in the LA area who owe their success to the opportunity that he provided. May he rest in peace.

missing you Dad....

I started my real estate career in 1986 with Jon Douglas in Beverly Hills Alice Rainer was the Manager and John Arrow head of the Estates Division. Jon was inspirational and really cared about his agents. He was fun and our Christmas party was always a blast. He was the best and those days were the best for me. Still miss him.
