I just thought about the journal and wondered if someone could get it to Jacks service... Turns out he already had it and had I tended to bring it to GA this weekend... :-(

Very sorry to hear the news... I enjoyed seeing Jack (and Dianne) at the Midwest Rallies. My condolences to Dianne.
My favorite memory of Jack will be when he shared the story and video of him wringing out his Thunderbird on that long, straight desolate road (out west). Great stuff.

Sorry to hear. My condolences go out to his family. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a couple of the Noreast Rallies.

I remember that he posted here that he wanted to make every BA.com US rally in a year once he retired. I believe he met his goal. He was a great guy and will be missed. RIP "Big Jack".

Condolences to all that knew and loved Jack. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but it sounds like he was a helluva guy that touched many lives.

A dinner will be held at the MOOSE Lodge in Elkheart, Indiana at 12:00 PM on Saturday the 18th. Jack played his Favorite non fishing non motorcycling game of Texas "Hold Em" there every week, even when he was sick. Any desiring to attend are welcome. There will be no other service. Jack was cremated today.

My condolences to Jack's family and friends. Although I didn't know him I can see by some of the photos and responses that he was respected, appreciated and loved. So sorry to hear of your loss.
