It takes awhile for the grapevine to get to Switzerland, so I just heard about Buddy. Yes, Buddy, for he and I go back to sailing X boats against each other on Oconomowoc Lake - he always beat me. Buddy was one of my all time lifetime heroes, a wonderful man, and the world is diminished by our loss. My heart goes out to the Hendee family, may the 0-88 / X-17 keep sailing on forever....

Dear Kathy and all the Hendee family,
Jack and your family were the first ones to welcome the Duncan family to Pine Lake in the late 60's. I have never forgotten his kindness and hospitality to all during our 8 year stay there. Truly a man who led by example. Our thoughts are with you on his passing, may you find strength and smiles in the memories of all he touched.

Dear Kathy and the Hendee Family,
As a graduate, fresh from college and new to the world of business, Jack Hendee was one of the first people I encountered when I began employment at the bank. He impressed me then and would continue to impress me throughout my business career as one of the most capable, sensitive, and caring people with whom I would ever have the pleasure of knowing. I speak not only for myself but for many of my friends who worked with Jack that we are better people for the time we spent under Jack's guidance and influence. All of us are saddened by his passing. You and your family are held in our hearts and prayers.

It was over 36 years ago that I was employed at First Wisconsin. For a while I reported directly to Jack, who by this time was, I think, in charge of all retail banking. It was obvious at that time Jack was being groomed to run the entire show someday. And rightly so. He was bright, articulate, decisive and very smart. He also had compassion. I was going through a series of disappointments that had me discouraged. Jack took me out to lunch, listened to my concerns and gave me suggestions and support. I will never forget the kind manner he showed to me then and in all our dealings. I miss him but know that God will bless him for all time.

To the entire Hendee Family;
It will not be the same coming to Pine Lake knowing Jack has passed away. But I am heartened knowing his spirit will always be there as it always has been during my entire life. God bless Jack and God bless you all.

Dear Hendee Family
It was my good fortune to work with Jack at First Wisconsin/Firstar. The quality of the person was reflected in the values he taught all of us who were blessed to work with Jack. A very special man... Your family is in our thoughts and prayers...
