Coming up on twenty years and I still think of you often, Jack. I miss you, my friend. I'm so grateful I had the chance to know you.

I was saddened to learn of Jack's passing. I am a former friend of Jerry's and knew you all when you lived in Riverwoods. I dated Jerry a long time ago and had the pleasure of getting to know your family. I pray you are healing slowly and that you have many wonderful memories to keep him close to you. I will probably be in Boston next summer and maybe I will try to contact Jerry then--just to let him know I am thinking of all of you.
Warmly,
Susan Isaac (Maylahn)

I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Jack's passing. Jack's family please know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you.



Thinking of Jack brings many things to mind: gracious, generous, gentile, gregarious, contagious and larger than life, but most of all he was a real friend. You taught me many important lessons and enlivened my years in Chicago. Thank you, Jack. I love you man!



I am sure you are 'holding court' regaling a throng with an intriguing story right now. Peace.

To the Concannon family:



I remember Jack as a young Chicago Bears' fan. He was the first Bear quarterback I saw in person at a football game at Soldier Field. My condolances to the family and my prayers are with you at this most difficult of times. However, I want to leave you with this biblical scripture, Joshua 1:5...as I was with Moses, so I will be with you..." God Bless!

Great memories from high school with Jack. He was poetry in motion both on the gridiron and on the basketball court and I closely followed his college and pro career.

Ginny, please accept my sincere condolences.
