Jean, My deepest condolences to you and your family. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. Jack was definitely one of my favorite people I ever met (next to you of course). I'm so sorry I missed the memorial, I had prior obligations.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Sincerly, Melanie

We're so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. But he has left the legacy of a great family which everyone can be proud of.

My sympathy goes to Jeanne and her family on the passing of my old friend, Jack. My memories of Jack are warm and will always be with me. In the early days at The Tube, we worked hard, played hard, vacationed in Puerto Rico together, and shared our lives. I know from talks Jack and I had in recent years, how much he loved his family and the respect he had for his kids as they began their adult lives. Sue and I were fortunate enough to meet Allyson at lunch with Jack last year, and we were so impressed with her. What a lovely, humorous, friendly young woman. She jumped right in with us old timers and held her own in our conversation, as if she was an old timer too. God bless Jean and her family.
