Marie,
I was on vacation when I heard the sad news of Jack's passing; hence, I am late sending a message, but I have had a chance to review his many accomplishments, and comments from others. .... I just knew him as one of the friendliest guys at reunions. ...You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marie, just found out about Jack and appreciate the chance to tell you what a special guy I thought he was. A straight shooter if I've ever met one. Really feel blessed I had a chance to work with him at the bank. Ann and I have you in our prayers as you go through this void in your life. Fondly, Ernie Williams

Marie--thanks for posting this information on Jack. I feel priviledged that Mark and Jack called me during Mark's visit. Enjoyed stories about SPI Mini -- Jack reminded me that loss of Mariachi Band led to birth of the Gonzos!

I am thankful that Jack had you as caretaker during his battle with cancer.

All who knew Jack will miss him terribly.

Best wishes, George Sibert

Mrs. Tierney and family,
I just found out about Mr. Tierney and am truly saddened. He and I had great fun at the I&G. His booming laugh is memorable. Please accept my most sincere condolences on behalf of myself and the other I&G staff who worked with him.

Dear Marie,

It has been 34 years since we last had any contact. That was when I was living in Great Falls, and Jack made his primary bid for the U. S. Sentate.

The last I knew about the two of you was there you were living in North Dakota.

As odd as it may seem, I was wondering about the two of you the other day. Then, on Tuesday, I read about Jack's death.

Please know that you have my sympathy and that the two of you were never forgotten by me.

Most sincerely,

John C. Board

Kent and I express our deepest sympathy. We both have such regard for Jack's many accomplishments and we only know a few of his achievements.

He faced his battle with cancer bravely and with honor. You have our utmost respect for standing by his side for the last 43 years. No matter how much advance notice you have, the loss is never easy and the pain is great.

You, Michael, and your grandchildren are in our thoughts and prayers.
