I was just notified by an old friend, Ralphie, of the passing of Jack´s mother, Liz, last year. And the previous passing of Jack Spiegel. My family knew the Spiegel family when I was a kid and I have distinct memories of Margaret and Jack and Scott.
Sadly, much of my memories are from the grieving period when their father Lee passed suddenly. What a tragic terrible time that was. I remember going to your house with my mother and my mother comforting Liz and all of us being so terribly sad.
Although I had not seen Jack since I was a child, I am sorry to hear of his early death. As kids we always thought he was cool, in the way that older kids seem to be. It sounds like he remained cool all his life. Condolences to everyone.

Hi Jack,
Sorry to hear of your passing because you are such a fun guy! You were a lot fun to be around and I thought you were pretty neat!
Ghee who could forget your motorcycle accident! You sure thought me not to ride on one nor even get on the back of one. Hopefully one day when my life's journey is over, you can greet me on Rainbow Bridge. Peace Jack and have fun up there!
