I have fond memories of Jack. I think we first met at Black. He was a really nice guy, usually pretty quiet, but always with a grin on his face.
Scotty and I were talking on the back channel last night about how ironic it is that Jack and Eddie Wanecke, who was also always in our class but ended up graduating from Reagan, passed away within a couple of months of each other. They were best friends in school and were always together, with Eddie cutting up and laughing and Jack being the straight man. As I told Scotty they are now roaming the hallways of Heaven together.
Rest In Peace Jack.
