I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. As one of his pledge brothers and fellow Drexel classmate, I will always remember that he always had that smile that just seemed to make you like him immediately. I haven't seen him for many years, but when I did, he was the same Jack that I knew. My prayers and condolences go out to his family.

My deepest sympathies to the Sykes family. Jack and I helped each other through Drexel. We truly were study buddies. Too many good stories to tell. Warmth, humor, talent, sincerity, and oh what an infectious smile. Jack will be greatly missed by all he touched. If you knew Jack, you felt connected to Jack. Not too long ago we were able to play golf and share laughter. And until we meet again my friend...

Dear Dolores and Family,
We are so very saddened to hear of the passing of Jack. We will always remember him with a great smile and a wonderful talent for telling really funny stories. He and Jimmy were quite a duo when they were together. So many laughs were had by all. May Jack be rejoicing with God in heaven and smiling and telling more funny stories to those who went before him. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you get through the difficult days ahead. Rest in Peace, Jack and keep them all smiling up there as you did for us down here,
