Dear Phyllis, Rebecca, and Amy,

Please accept my condoleces. Jack was a truly fine man - one of the best any of us will ever have the pleasure to know. He was a man of integrity and a gentleman. He will be missed most of all by you, his family, but also by all of us who have had the good fortune to call him a friend.

God Bless,

Greg Ouska

Hi Jack,
I'm sure they play cards where you are, (You've probably organized a few games already) I'll join you for some Omaha and Texas Hold'em one of these days. Thanks for the great years working with you and Normandy, and many great memories playing with "The book of the month club". Peace, Bob

With Much Love,

My Dear Friends,

I remember well the first time Beth and Dave invited me to your home. It's strange the things you recall from so long ago. I remember the wonderful house, a huge jade plant, the immaculate lawn and playing croquet. I remember being so very impressed when I learned many of your neighbors had garages for airplanes. I thought to myself, "this is a rich man."
But as time and years went by I saw Jack surrounded by his loving wife and devoted daughters. I came to learn it was from his "girls" Jack derived his true wealth.
Jack was a lucky man and more importantly, he had the rarest of qualities. Jack was a nice man.

Kim and I have you in our prayers.
