Jack was a good friend to my father and to all of our family for many years. He did an outstanding job at the mca and I always enjoyed his “Take Five” column. We will miss him but always have plenty of good times to remember.
Jack was a friend and business associate of my grandfather Fred Horne. My grandmother passed away when I was 12 or so. Following that my grandfather would take me along on many of his convention trips and MCA meetings. Jack and his wife would always remember me, and were very kind to me. I always looked forward to seeing them.
