Dear Tom, I am thinking of you this day as you honor Jack. He was such an accomplished man with an amusing dry sense of humor. I loved his plaid jackets! He will be greatly missed. May your many happy memories sustain you at this time and in the future.
Love,

Many heartfelt sympathies for Tom and all Jack's friends. He was an amazing gentleman and a delight to know, an ardent supporter of many great causes and a scholar of American poetry. Jack is very much missed but still in our hearts and presence. Peace

Tom, We are both so sad to learn of Jack's death and we live in our minds the wonderful times the four of us have shared in recent years. Our thoughts will be with you on Thursday. We hope very much that you will find your way back up to Belfast and we can once again have dinner at Darbys. Most sincerely, Judy and David

Tom,
Margaret and I are so sorry for you loss. A perfect gentleman, of course, invariably kind and generous and funny, Jack was a real inspiration to me. He was a serious pursuer of new personal and intellectual experiences; he could find interest in almost anything and was an incredibly good reader. His taste was almost as good as yours!
Beautiful qualities for a beautiful life.
A beautiful man.
