Jack Balcombe

Margie and I enjoyed visiting with Jack at Drake fine arts events. We are very sorry to hear of his death. Condolences to Sarah and the rest of the family. Jack will indeed be missed.

We were classmate in Ellis, KS (K-12). I valued knowing Jack - liked and respected him. Our Senior play was Antigone and what grand time we had playing in that tragedy. I think Jack may have been the only cast member who actually knew the story and how to pronounce "Antigone." :-) His dry sense of humor got us all through a challenging "gig." Many good memories and many thoughts to his family and friends. Sorry this message isn't timely. I just learned of his death.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Oh my, with a heavy heavy heart I write this note. Sarah Frank and family, may all our thoughts and prayers be with you and comfort you through the next days, weeks, months and years. Jack you were a one of a kind amazing man. No greater supporter of the Arts have I met. You and Sarah's ability to see everything amazes me still. Jack you were a smart man and understood many things others didn't. Thank you for your opinions, conversations, arguments and support even when times were tough. God bless.

What a wonderful man...heart and soul. Kind and supportive...a true gem.

Jack was a friendly, supportive, intelligent man. His was the face I always looked forward to seeing at shows. I'll miss his handshake and his insight.
