Wonderful memories of interactions with Jack. Some days he was the rose to my thorns or vice versa on another day. Together we were directors and then Trustees serving on the Grapevine Board. You know how that would play-out. Jack the wise midwesterner and Des the pinstriped, braces-clad New Yorker. That image has the making of a pretty funny sitcom. And we were! I think fondly of him many times. I can still hear that garrulous laugh, nasal voice and see that broad grin. God love him. I did and do.

I will miss you, Jack. You made my gym workouts more bearable with your smile and sense of humor. You were our 'guardian angel' when my spouse and I were dealing with a difficult situation with our son. Rest in peace, my friend.
