Jack was always one of the nice guys at the department. Was always willing to help when you needed it, and and happy to answer any questions. Jack did things just to be nice, not to get any pats on the back. He was a kind soul. Godspeed Jack. You will be missed by many.

Sorry to hear this news. I knew Jack professionally. He gave me support and guidance when I was new on the job. I met Stephen through fencing and always appreciated the man he turned into. Deepest condolences.
