I loved Jack. I knew Jack for many years. I hadn’t seen Jack since I moved from Lincoln 2 years ago and am so sad to hear of his passing. Jack was a wonderful human being who was filled with kindness and love. He will be missed, not only by me, but by this entire world because he was that good and beautiful. Goodbye my dear friend. I hope your journey is magnificent. I’m sure it will be.
“Another Lincoln High Job Well Done.”
I remember Jack from when he was just a little boy. He always had a smile on his face. So full of life. When he met new people it was like he was meeting new friends. He would also let you know if he didn’t like you. Nothing fake about him. I will miss him much.
