I love you Jack. I miss you. You tought me so much and gave me so much opportunity in so little time. I don't know what I would be without you. I'm working so hard every day on the Opa Lights. I hope that you would like them and be proud of the crew as we continue what you started. It's been such an emotional year and it's hard to imagine what Burning Man will be like without you but you have inspired and trained an entire generation of builders and artists out there so I can assure you that we got this.
Love, Kelly

When Julija and I started at ILM as 24 year old, wide-eyed girls from Canada, Jack took us under his big Opa wings and always took care of us. Your force is strong Jack and I'll forever remember your full body hugs. So much love and support to Drew, Aaron and all his family and friends.

Rest in Peace and Love, Jack! You were an inspiration. I will always be grateful to you and Brian G for introducing me to Bill Murray on the Main Stage.

A positive and creative force of nature that will be sorely missed.

I knew Jack from the model shop, when his son Aaron and I were making targets for Jurrasic Park. I was taken with all the love and affection he openly showed his son. Something I had never seen before. Then when Jack was in London, we met up several times, and he even came with me and my friends to the Notting Hill Carnival.
So generous, my friends never wanted him to leave. So sad to see he's passed away, much love to Aaron and all the family. Hina

Beste Jack, Jacky, what I called you when I spend my leave before going to 'Nam, at your parents house that is to say, my uncle Willi, and my aunt Ilse, your father and mother. You were 14 years old then, and I slept in your room. I remember you as a kind, affectionate boy, and later on as an adult that you hadn't changed. You were always a creative person, in many ways, as is Willi, your sister. Clearly talents bestowed on you from your parents. You were not afraid to show empathy and kindness to my elderly mother Maud R. Weynschenk, by visiting her from far-a-way America. I thank you again for this, and for being the man, whom I first knew as a boy, and whom I respected. I wish you rest Jacky secula seculorum. François Louis Haye

When I was a teen and I had ran away, you swooped me up and took me to your place in Seal Beach. You taught me how to cook, pushed my creative bounderies, fed my soul with music, books and wonder.
Thank you Uncle Jack, with all my love, Thank You.

Although I never met you your great heart shone in the images Drew lovingly posted of you. Still here still shining.

Very missed. I was driving through downtown Petaluma this morning and thought, it feels different now.

As our father, a devout Buddhist, taught us; our souls consist of energy that doesn´t die when the body does but rather continues on to its next "experience."
I miss you "Tjak" on so many levels.
