I moved away from Norfolk 20 years ago. was a big fan of jack's and often wondered what had happened to him. was sorry to find this. it is nice to know that he had other friends. I have 1 or 2 originals and a dozen prints. my favorite though is the commission of my own picture that he did after a hospital stay that he had. he wanted a word processor to use while recuperating.

I just added one of Jack's art pieces to the kitchen when I thought I would see what this amazing man was up to...so sad to see that he has passed along. He was such a loving soul and I am blessed to have quite a few of his amazing pieces. My condolences to his friends and family.

What an amazing man! I met Jack in my 20s (he in his 50s) and treasured the talks we had at the d'Art center. Jack, you are missed! Condolences to his family and friends.

Jack was a good friend in days long past. I recall his quiet manner and steadfast encouragement when engaged in difficult social action projects during the 1980s and '90s. His artwork was admired by so many, and I am proud to have some of them in my home. Please accept my condolences to the family during this sad time.
