The stars are there for a reason. They now have another star who educated and opened so many eyes to navigate the universe. I loved every moment with Dr.Mack and his lectures. I am certain he will be missed by all who had contact with him.... Especially this old student who went back to college at 38 years old!!

Dr. Mack was such a unique and special person. I enjoyed getting to know him as "Jack´s dad" through many fun gatherings celebrating Williamsville South High School music and theater performances, graduations, AFS gatherings, and other festivities. Sending love and light to your family.

Jack was one of the first people I met at Buffalo State in 2003 - he was kind, giving, gracious, and a wonderful colleague. My deepest sympathies Jack, Alice and all the family. He made a beautiful mark on our world.

Dearest Jayne and family-
So sorry to hear about Jack´s passing. What a wonderful person and partnership you had together. I always remember how the two of you came to all of the AFS and School events our kids were involved in. And even to our "Anchor Bar " event when Priscilla was visiting a few years ago ! I hope to see you when I return from visiting Jessica in San Francisco. In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with you, Alice and Jack......and the whole family. I also marveled at the extraordinary and loving care you and your family gave to Dr. Jack during these last years. May Jack´s memory be a blessing.
Much Love,
Peggy Santillo

Jack was always helpful to students using the planetarium and to students studying astronomy. He offered a minor for the department.

When Dr Mack became Department Chair, I took over his Astronomy classes. He was indeed the most considerate, kind, fair, and competent chair I knew.

So sorry to learn of Jack's passing; he was a great, helpful, encouraging, and very supportive faculty member. Students frequented his office often because he was generous with his time in order to help them better understand astronomy.
