Dear Karin and Family:

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to all the family and loved ones on Jack's passing. Being a close scientific colleague for decades, having read so many of his publications (to the present time!), having talked with him at so many scientific meetings (Horvath Medal Award Symposium, 2014, West Haven, CT), and known of his many accomplishments, he will be sorely missed.

Jack was a great scientist, friend and patient golf partner. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of being his friend.

Thinking of Jack today as we say goodbye. Simply put, a fine man. Condolences to his family Karin, Mark, Holly, Kathy, and Barb. I will always have fond memories of him and glad I was part of his journey thru life.

Karin, thinking about you & your family & sending our love & deepest sympathy.

Going to miss visiting with Jack out on your terrace in Cap Cana talking about Churchill and other various topics. So honored to have known him. Hugs from the Purcells

Dear Karin
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
Our prayers are with you. We will miss him.
Lol.

I am honored and delighted to have known Jack for the many years since he joined the family as Karin's beloved husband. As we read the obituary, we know what a fabulous and full life he had. I'm so glad I saw him during my recent trip to Wilmington. It was always a pleasure to visit with him and talk about classic cars, sports, business, etc. He will be missed. Love to all his family.

Dr. Kirkland will be missed by all who benefited from his numerous contributions. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you

My condolences to your family for your loss. May your memories of Joseph bring a smile to your face and may the true God hear your prayers and grant you joy and peace. Ps 65;2
