Jack was a pleasure to work with at Boeing. He was a wealth of knowledge and I admire the way he communicated technical matters with others. One memory that stands out is the huge smile on his face when I asked about his grandkids after seeing their photos at his desk. He was certainly a proud father and grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
