I knew Jack only for a few years later in his life.. enough to know that he had a great sense of humor yet straight forward when he needed to be. Men such as Jack are men who made America strong. He will be missed....

Jack was one of the most unique and interesting characters I will ever know. He lived life to the fullest, and shared his cheerful attitude with everyone he met. As a business associate, he went out of his way to help others in the company. Jack was a champion of his customers, his family, and his friends. His spirit is still here with us. -- JS
