I'm sorry to hear about Jack. (The last time I saw him, about 3 years ago, he was sitting about eight rows in front of me at a Reds game. I noticed he was drinking a beer so I had the beer vendor deliver him a bottle of whatever he was drinking & say that "the guy eight rows behind you got this". He turned around to look and I stood up and waved to him (but I don't think he knew who it was).
Jack was a true gentleman, a very classy man. Also a great handicapper! Just a great guy.
With condolences,
