So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a long time friend and mentor to me. I look back on those days working with him at Brandywine Wallace and the summer with him & Lee Ely. He was a great encouragement to us when my dad passed away suddenly. So sorry I missed the service--was tied up with work & missed the posting on Lab's internet web site.

Very Sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Jack was a good man for whom I had great respect. He was a good hunting buddy, great boss when cleaning the school during the summer, and lots of fun to share cake and coffee with every morning of the school year. You will be missed Jack. Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Hopefully he is at peace and without pain. I always enjoyed going to his shop to get a haircut and the many conversations. I will never forget young Ross's first haircut at Jack's shop and the time he called me to bring Ross to come visit Santa Claus (Warren Mercer) at his house.
