I have many found memories of playing tennis with Jack at the Meadow Club. We would often meet for a drink after tennis and discuss all of our great shots. Jack will be missed by all that knew him.

I was very sad to hear of Jack's passing. He was a great friend. Jack and I played tennis many times together at The Meadow Club. I am sorry I will not be able to make the service we drove to Kansas City to be with our grandchildren for Thanksgiving. We will certainly keep Jack and his family in our prayers. If we can do anything to help out please let us know.
