I was surprised and saddened to see Jack's picture in the obit listings. He was a great friend and mentor and we have missed him at the Museum since he did not come out. I am very sorry in his passing and extend my thoughts and condolences to all of the family. - Posted by: Don Simons (Freind and Museum Associate) on: Jul 19, 2015
