Dear Rosemarie & Family-
We were most saddened to hear of Jack's passing--a truly great guy and great neighbor. Most fondly are the remembrances of talking with Jack when saw each other in our front yards about his Army experiences, his avid dedication to fishing and trips to the coast, numerous trips to the Canyon Lake Rec Area and of course, our families. Other times he would call me to place equity trades--said it was like having a personal broker and he got a great kick out of that. Fond memories of a life Jack lived to the fullest. Be assured when he entered heaven he was greeted with a "Well done thou good and faithful servant". With heartfelt condolences, Dave & Colleen Durrant

We shouldn't weep because we lost him, we should smile because we found him. A mentor and good friend who was admired and respected by legions in the Medical Service Corps. Jack preceded me as the Consultant in Patient Administration in Heidelberg and San Antonio and I benefited greatly from his expertise and guidance. You will be missed, Jack. Jim Soule
