Jack and Chris were our nextdoor neighbors in Washington Crossing for many years. Both were wonderful neighbors. I have frequently passed along to others his anecdotes of wisdom shared during our times together. We and other neighbors always marveled at how sharp and able he was both physically and mentally. A true inspiration. I last communicated with him by email just two months ago and he again was the same sharp, capable Jack he always was.
This goes back a number of years, okay…decades. But my memory of Jack & Steve with entire grill filled with oysters on the half shell! So much excitement and anticipation was apparent by all, except those few of us who won’t eat oysters. I could so tell Jack did not understand how I didn’t consume even one
I remember Jack, when I worked at NAPC. He kept IS department hopping and any problems were quickly addressed. God Bless Jack and his family and I will keep him in my prayers.
