I worked with Jack at Amcore for only a few years. He was always a pleasure to see and to joke around with. May God's loving arms hold you tightly through this most difficult time. Until we meet again, God's peace.

Sharon: You probably don't remember me, but I worked with you and Jack at the bank when it was American Bank. Jack was nice to me from day one and helped me to learn a lot about the banking industry and being a bank employee. He was one of the best employees American Bank had! My condolences to you and the family.

God Bless You, Jack

Jack was a great coworker and even better neighbor! I have many fond memories of talking with Jack and Sharon and admiring Jack's work in the yard... he took great pride in everything he did. God speed, Jack.
