I have known Jack for most of my financial professional life. In fact, he was the one who interested me in joining Equitable Advisors, where I have spent the last 17 years of my career and where my youngest son, Chris, is also now an advisor. Jack was always clear eyed and tough and loved the life insurance business. His honesty and energy will be missed by many. Just a good man!!
