It is still difficult for me to know Jack is gone. It was 5 years ago today the world lost a champion and I lost my best friend I've ever had. Still, he is in my memories which carry me through the days. Thanks "Tubes".

No matter the number of days that pass, Jack and the impression he made on all the lives he touched remains. I think of you often and will remember your friendship on behalf of the many who never got the chance to know you as I did. Thank you my brother, thank you.

It is September 2021. It has been a year since Jack 's passing and there honestly hasn't been one day that I don't think of him. I continue to tell many about my "other" brother and his impact on my life and the world. I am forever grateful for his friendship.

There was no one in my life who had a greater impact on me than Jack. He was dedicated to the US Air Force, to principals of honesty and kindness and to his friends. He did much to share the strengths and legacy of our military in civilian life. His commitment ran deep and his humor was right out front to share. He made sure others were happy, entertained and enriched before himself. I am grateful for having him in my life to make whatever I attempted, better. He was my "other" brother. I shall always hold him highest in my life.

My condolences to Jack’s family. It seems like not that long ago when Jack and I went to the senior prom together and my very first plane ride was a trip to see him when he was stationed in Washington, DC. Rest In Peace, Jack.

Jackie, I know you are now at peace without pain. One day we'll all be reunited in the presence of our Lord, never to be separated again.
