I was saddened to hear of Jack's death. I worked with him briefly at Argonne National Laboratory in 1987. He was a very nice man and good co-worker. He always had a great story to tell of the old days! God Bless you Jack and your family!

As much a father to me as my own. I will miss him greatly. I will save a place for him at dinner -sausage and peppers! I miss his commenting on my guitar playing. He was always honest, never condescending, and always said what he truly believed. Old school - but not old at heart. With Love, Zack
