I had the pleasure of working at the original headquarters for sterling bay and met Jack Houze countless of times, as he exercised early mornings there at the gym. A very humble soul, sad to hear he has passed but rest well , Mr.Houze. Blessings & Condolences to the family !

Jack was a very good friend of mine while attending grade school and playing baseball as we grew a bit older.
I will always remember what a great guy he was, always making me smile and laugh even thru rough times.
May Jack rest in peace now and may the good Lord bless and watch over his family.
RIP my friend.
