I´ve known Jack since 1982 and always loved hearing, (but mostly watching) him sing with Russell Eiffertt at the piano. I learned the words by reading Jack´s lips as we sung so many of the American Standards. Jack was so kind to all that knew him. I loved how when new patrons came into the bar while we were singing. Sometimes they became a little loud TALKING while Jack, without saying a word would give them "that look",
What a great man we will always have fond memories. Say hi to my Mom up there Buddy.

I offer my condolences to Jack´s family, all of his loved ones and friends. Jack was such a wonderful caring and kind person who left his mark with everyone in his life. He will be greatly missed. For all he has done for me and mine his memory will forever be etched in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with you his family and Jack along with his many friends. Jack was a friend and mentor to me over 37 years. His kindness and wisdom coupled with the gentle calmness by which he carried himself was inspirational. I cannot say where I would be if I had not met him, but I can say that knowing him has enriched and changed my life for the better.

I will miss your beautiful voice and your presence, my friend. Your friendship from the moment I met you felt like not only like a friend but I knew I had a protector. Our gatherings will always include your laugh as well as your spirit. It is an honor to be able to call you a friend, rest well in eternity until we all meet again around the piano on the other side.
