I was so sorry to hear about Jack's death. My dad, Bill Hess, and Jack were friends and worked together at Mutual of Omaha. I just found out and wish I could have taken my dad to the funeral. I will always remember how Jack loved my dad's dog and my dog! Know that the family will be in my prayers.

Karen,
I'm so sorry about Jack. My sister Betty was friends of Mary and Jack's. They sent Christmas cards to each other until Betty passed away. My prayers are with all of you.

To Jack's Family, my deepest sympathy. Your father and I had many conversations at Mutual that encouraged and supported me as a disabled employee. As a Rehabilitation executive, he focused on making buildings accessible to all. I'll always remember his kindness and intelligence. It has been decades since I had seen and talked with Jack, but he is an important memory of my working years. God bless him and all of you.
