I hve many wonderful memories of Jack. As a teen he was my music teacher and had the experience being in his Stars of Tomorrow Band. He was so patient with us kids and made us feel special. I baby sat his children when he and Barb were involved in Pit and Balcony one year.
Many years later his Son Tom became my son in law and we became part of the same family. He was always smiling and fun. He was a great man and thinking of him will always make me smile.

I met Jack when I was a kid. I used to go to Gridley's all the time and took drum lessons there. Jack used to stop at our store frequently too. I remember Jack taking my dad in the Gridley Music van to the Sani-Seal Dairy to stock up on milk during that big snow storm in the 60s. My good fortune to run into Jack and Tracy a few years back at Spencer's. Made my day to see him again after many years. Condolences to you Todd, Tracy and the entire Gridley family.

My sincere condolences to the Gridley family...
Jack stood tall in the generation of amazing musicians we were so fortunate to have in our area. I remember the opportunity our band, the Paupers, had to appear on Jack’s Sunday morning TV show, and making regular visits to Gridley Music and the cool staff there. He was always friendly and classy. I’ll remember him with with respect and thanks.

Many great memories of Jack. He was director of the Stars of Tomorrow for several years when I was a member. The band was a lot of fun and Jack was a great director, teacher, mentor. Condolences to the family.
