we only knew Jack for a short time but enjoyed his quiet but on target comments. He certainly crammed a lot of living in his last couple of years and gave us all inspiration.

Jack was a gentleman. Always polite,
thorough and welcoming. He loved the theatre pipe organ and was rightfully
proud of the large white Rogers organ in his home. He loved to travel and apparenty was fluent in Spanish. Knowing him brightened our lives.

I will miss the way you would "check up" on me as I played the prelude and postlude at OLOM. I got the feeling you were making sure I was doing it right, which of course, I always tried harder to do so you would approve. May you be playing the greatest instrument heaven has to offer until we meet again.

You will be missed at Worland. We are happy to have known you! Julie and Emily
