Jack and I were partner Lt.'s in the old 009. I thoroughly enjoyed our time working together. He was a mentor and a friend. I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to the family.

I'm so sorry. I haven't seen or spoken with Jack in so long, but memories all came to life when I saw his name just now. They were all good and warm, and I'm grateful our paths crossed in the CPD. May he know God's peace now, and may all who miss him feel God's sustaining help and even healing...down the road. Jack Lorenz: he knew what it meant to serve and protect God's people...a life well lived.
