Not sure what to say?

I only met Jack a few times at camera shows over the years,but it did not take long to recognize what a fine man he was.He invited me and the other exhibitors to his "museum" and took great joy in showing his collection to us after the show. I probably learned more in those hours than in the rest of my camera collecting career, but never failed to read any article he ever had published. He was in my mind
THEE expert. I am proud to have known him.

What wonderful friend,mentor,collector and inspiration in the collector world. They do not make them like that any more. We all share with Enid her great loss.

My condolences to the entire family
from his friend Smitty who printed hundreds of fabulous photos of Jacks work of travel,people and collections.He will be missed.

Our deepest condolences to Jack's family. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know him, it was an honor to know such a wonderful man. We felt privileged when Jack would give us tours of his interesting collection, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to him speak and listening to his stories. It was a pleasure to do work for him, he was always so appreciative of what I did. We will miss him.

It was with great sadness that I learned today of Jack's death. Jack was a Director at Benthos during the 5 years that I was CEO. I grew to admire and respect this great man and always relied on his sound business advice and counsel. Jack was the model of what I aspire to be.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of this exceptional man. May he rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to Enid and all of Mr. Naylor's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Enid and family: Jack truly was an inspiration to me as a collector. I always enjoyed speaking with him and will forever cherish his stories and knowledge of collecting. It was an honor to be with him in NYC at the recent auction and again yesterday at the service.

My deepest condolences go to the family and friends of Jack Naylor. I only met Mr. Naylor a couple of times but will never forget his charming ways, generousity and zest for life. As members of the New England American Society of Picture Professionals, Jack opened his home and collection to many visitors to view. He will be missed among the photographic community.

Our sincere condolences to Jack's family. We were privileged to get personal tours from Jack of both the old and new collections, and he was a most wonderful and gracious host. We will miss him
