To Jack's family and to Jane, I want to add my condolences. I just learned of Jack's passing today. Jack and I were close friends in Lebanon, IN doing our CB stuff. I lost track of Jack in Oct 1963 when I entered the USAF. Fond memories of great times. I was a classmate of Jane at Lebanon 7-12 and enjoyed her successes. I feel like I just lost a close buddy today, May 12, 2022.

We were so sorry to read about Jack's passing this morning. There are too many memories and stories to post, but we both loved working with him at Magnavox and also moonlighting with him for the Phil Patriotic Pops and other performances. He sure knew his stuff! He was our good friend and such a great guy. I'm sorry, Becky, Julie, Kim, Joel and Jane and all the rest of the family he loved so much.
