Irreplaceable!
Jack was a 110% guy. He took on the world with enthusiasm, humor, and a fair helping of street smarts. Whatever the venture, Jack would be known as a “key player”. It has been my honor to count him as my friend for almost fifty years. Happy trails, Chief!
Jack, you were such an influence on my personal and work life. You were always there to advise, educate, and support. And, there was always a story to make me laugh. I’m glad the pain is gone but I will miss you! Loved you, my friend, Sherry
Jackie jo Lee: Enough talk about work. I cherish the lies we told one another on our “business” wink wink golf outings. You are a true gem. Love, Yack
