Jack was a trusted friend and business partner. I can not believe he is gone. He always, and I mean always had a big smile on his face even if we had significant challenges to overcome. I miss him along with hundreds of others in our industry for sure. He is missed.

Liza and family, I shared so many laughs and happy talks with Jack. While we had a business relationship, I know it was much more than that for both of us. He was more a friend to me. We shared stories about our lives and our families. He always lit up when he spoke of you Liza. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry for your loss... and for all of us who lost Jack. Our memories will endure.

Liza and family, my heart and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I reconnected with Jack last year after not talking with him for several years and I was so happy to see his smiling face and hear him laugh. That is how he will be remembered: bright, laughing and always so willing to help. Your Crawford Family remembers. With love, Verna

Jack was a very special person that I had the pleasure or working alongside for 25 years. He was a close friend that I loved like a brother. He made a tremendous impact in his work life and through his charm, warm caring smile and personality, he brightened the lives of all he touched. From his deeply competitive spirit, to his keen sense of humor, to his loyalty and dedication, to his love for family, he was always fully committed to his priorities in life. I will miss Jack, but will carry forward the everlasting memories of him forever. My condolences and deepest sympathies to Liza and family.

We heard of Jack's passing and were just gutted. He was one of the finest people we had the privilege to know and call friend. He was just one of those people who inspired others to be better. We will all miss his infectious laugh which would fill any room he was in. The world got a little smaller with his passing, but was enriched by his time here. We'll hold him in our memories.

Always went out of his way to make you feel welcome, he would Bring donuts for your birthday and was always smiling and if you had an issue he would go above and beyond to help. I will never Jack.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Jack. I graduated with his sister Cris. A few years back we were up to Petoskey, staying at the same hotel we ran into Jack and Lisa with his mom and dad (John and Wilma) at breakfast the next morning. The quick wit and sense of humor definitely was handed down from his parents, as we laughed that morning.
John, Cris, and the entire Schafer & Carbone families our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Liza and all those Jack touched in life.
