I taught with Jack at Northeast for my first 7 years. He was a big help to me as a new teacher in a new community. I will miss you, Jack.

I was secretary to Jack Holub (along with three other supervisors) on the 15th floor of the beautiful County Service Center. Jack always remembered me on Secretary's Day by taking me out to lunch or organizing flowers and cards with the 3 other supervisors. He was the most courteous, thoughtful person and I'm sorry for the family's loss! Rosemary Reppert

I want to express my sincerest sympathies to Mr. Holub's family. He was my favorite math teacher in my school years and one of my very favorites at NE. He had a sense of humor, was very smart, took time with us to help us learn and a very kind man. May he rest in peace, job well done, Mr. Holub..you'll be missed !

I have known Jack since we taught together at Northeast. I also had the opportunity to play golf with him. After retiring from teaching I sold him a car from Bayliss Oldsmobile. Although I had not seen Jack in quite awhile I knew about what he was doing from another friend of mine Bob Adams who played golf with him quite frequently in the past few years. Jack was an excellent teacher and credit to the faculty at Northeast. I will miss his presence. Jack Tompkins
