Jack had the ability to create an environment of laughter and fun. His influence touched many hearts and minds. He was a friend of sixty years.Now he reunites with the legendary group of "friends forever" joining Mike Busby, Richard Turner and Dwayne Wells in heaven. Let the rounds of golf begin, catching the fish that need to be caught, hitting some of the birds and missing others that flew by. At the end of the day, Jack was always the organizer of the "games of chance." I encourage all to take a moment to reflect back on your memorable times spent with him In time I will reunite with the group too. Meanwhile RIP Jack. Bill "Willie" McLeod

I called on Jack around 1981 I think. I thought I was going to sell him on my services as a consultant to help his team better manage their time and achieve greater results. After about an hour of my pitch, Jack sold me on going to work for him. Willie McCleod was my sales manager. I'm afraid Jack was a better salesman than I ever was and so was Willie. I didn't know Jack well in school, but his business acumen was hard to beat. That brief encounter has always stayed with me. Jack's success was always something I admired.
My prayers to his family.
