During their 50 years together, Jack and Lois enjoyed traveling the world. As a supporter of the arts, Jack enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren perform in the U.S. and abroad.

Sending Jack's family my sympathies. I have been Jack's health insurance broker since 2018. I am so very sorry for your loss. He and I last spoke in December and planned on talking again in January, so I could help him. I had a bad feeling when I wasn't hearing back from him, since he was in the hospital when he last called me. He was eager to get out and get back to working out at the gym, (which is the same place I exercise). He had a great mind and was very with it. Your dad was such a nice man and I thought very fondly of him. I am very sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Joyce O'Malley
