It has been over 60 years now since Jack became a mainstay of the Bexley community and a leading representative of the class of 1950. It will be especially difficult during our yearly get togethers to arrive and not enjoy Jack as well as Betty Ann's presence.

Jill, Chubby,Lynne, Barrie, and Buzz,

My deepest sympathies to you and your families. My memories of our youthful days playing on the polo field and in the big house with Jack have come back sharply and most happily. He was a gentleman and a lifelong friend. I shall miss him.

Buzz, Lynne, and Barry:

It was so good to speak with Buzz this afternoon by telephone. My business travel during the last several weeks contributed to my being out of touch with the agressive nature of Uncle Jack's illness. I deeply regret not visiting with him in recent weeks. I look forward to celebrating his life with you this weekend.

I have only the fondest memories of Jack from that time when he served on the Board and was an active, constant audience member of and donor to Players Theatre. Jack was a great sport, always fun, always had a smile and laugh to share. Bless him and his family.
