Jack Hotaling Obituary

I can see Jack's influence on his son Rhodi, a wonderful husband, father, and teacher.

Jack and Ginny welcomed our daughter Jessie into the family. Wonderful people.

Ginny, just learned that you lost Jack and wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. My condolences to you and yours

Dear Family,
My late father,Ralph L.Recor,was aquainted with Jack through thier fraternity,SAE. I met Jack in the early '70s and found him to be a fine gentleman. On behalf of our family, please accept our sincere condolences for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss. May the bible words found at John 6:40 comfort and help you to cope with the grief you are feeling at this time.

Ginny, I am so sorry for your loss. Jack will be missed by so many because he touched so many lives. I will be praying for you and your family, Corinne Wood P.S. I am unable to attend the funeral because I am out of the country.

Ginny,
I just heard about Jack's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jack was such a wonderful human being. I will always think of him as a devoted family man, who always had a kind word and a smile. He made you feel special every time you spoke with him. He will be missed.

Ginny,

I am very sorry to learn of the death of Jack. My condolences to you and your family.

Jack was the epitome of a gentleman. He was kind, gracious and nice to be around. He will be sorely missed. My deepest and most profound condolences to the family.

Aunt Ginny~ I will always remember my time with you and Uncle Jack (Grand Jack) when Nancy and I came to visit in Chicago! I remember when Uncle Jack took us up the Hancock Tower and we saw the river and it was green!! Also the time my mom, me and Nancy visited Chicago and spent time with you and Uncle Jack making easter eggs! We had such a great time and will always be great memories! Grand Jack was truly a great and loving uncle, dad and I am sure grandpa. He will be severely missed I send my deep sympathies and love to you, Chris and Rhodi and family.

To Jack's family, My sincere sympathies on your loss! Jack helped me a great deal when I first started work at the American Medical Association. He was a gentleman but also very down to earth, and that was much appreciated. Ginny, you won't remember me but we met a few times at the AMA employee craft fairs, and I thought it was great that you and Jack enjoyed working together to make gourmet food delicacies for us to enjoy!

I had the immense pleasure of serving with Jack as co-chair 34Connect - a year long effort with District 34. Jack represented the best of Glenview - he was gracious, patient, optimistic, civic-minded and always helped keep our group focused on doing what was right for the kids and the community. I was indeed saddened to hear that Glenview has lost such an incredible man.

Jack was such a joy to work with and all of us at Ridgebrook Travel deeply mourn his loss. His love of life, his great cheer, his joy in sharing his travels, his pleasure in helping us and our clients plan our trips, but especially the love he reflected from his wonderful wife, children and grandchildren leave us all such rich memories of a wonderful man.
I will be in Mexico on the date of his service, but will be with you all in my thoughts.

A quick wit, a warm smile, a lover of life, a giver of love, a friend, a father-figure ... all thoughts that come to mind when I remember this charming man. I, for one, am a better person for knowing him. He will be will be sorely missed.

Jack was an amazing man and husband and father and I am truly blessed to have shared my life with Jack and your entire family. I cannot imagine a time in my life when Jack or Ginny were not a part of my life. He will be missed and he truly was loved. My heart aches for you. Love, Donna Porter Rose (Alexandra)

Jack was an outstanding person and he will be greatly missed. He was a wonderful friend.

Jack was a super person, who loved his family and community so very much. We will miss him desperately: " ... a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times. This passion, and the death of a dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad." William Shakespeare (one of Jack's many great passions!). Our thoughts and prayers are with Ginny and the family. Bill, Beth, and Rose Coulson

We loved knowing Jack and we are so grateful for his warmth and bright spirit and for how he and Ginny have made Jessie feel like part of their family.

I've always enjoyed chatting with Jack and I'm not surprised that I find myself proud and slightly envious of his remarkable achievements I've just read in his wonderful obituary.

The word "gentleman" defines how I remember Jack. Kind and patient, with a story for every occasion, he will be missed by many. May you all take comfort in happy memories.

Dear Ginny,
We just read about Jack's death, and send you our condolences. We have been dealing with our own tragedy, the death of our beloved daughter, Kara, this past November, so we can relate to the grief and pain you are having to cope with.
We first met Jack when he was precinct captain in the precinct we work in as election judges. He was such a charming man! We loved getting to know him and always enjoyed the goodies he brought in for us to munch on during the day, often baked by you, dear Ginny, if we remember correctly.
We remember fondly seeing the two of you walking around Indian Ridge. Our paths would occasionally cross when we, too, were out for a stroll.
We'll never forget him. We send you and your family our deepest sympathy.

I got to know Jack thru Rotary and always looked forward to our meetings so we could converse about many local and national issues. I will miss our conversation as well as his presence at our breakfasts.
Sincerest condolences to his family, we lost a great guy.

Ginny,
Scott & I were out of town when we heard about Jack. We are so sad for you, Christopher & Rhodi.

Jack was a wonderful person and a good friend. I'll always remember how much fun it was for Michael to come to work with me on snow days, etc. -- so he could "play" with Mr. Hotaling. Jack was "top shelf", gentle, funny, smart, considerate and so much more. He was loved by all and will be missed by everyone who ever met him.

Pat, Scott & Michael Breitung

Chris & Rhodi
I was very sorry to hear about your Dad. Jody gave me a call this morning. I will always remember your dad as a great supporter of Glenbrook South's Athletics and GBS Swimming.
Yours
Coach Stetson
