Thanks to all of you for your very kind words and condolences. It's hard to believe 6 months have gone by, and my siblings and I miss him every day. It's hard to believe that just 2 years ago we celebrated my Father's 90th birthday in July. We do have to believe that he is in a much better Place.

My dad was Frank Bamberger and he and Jack went through school together, graduating with the LHS class of 1942. We always loved to shop at Stein's for suits for my three brothers and my dad. Jack was a really neat man and will be missed. Please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss.
