Jack was my best friend in early grade school, though he probably didn't consider me the same. He had too many friends. Everyone loved Jack. He was a talented athelete, scholar and artist. My first sleepover was at his house above 5 corners. When his mother died it was inevitable and understandable that something broke inside. We drifted apart over the years. I wish I could have kept in touch.

Jack was one of the kindest people who walked the earth.  I loved him very much.  

Jack was a sensitive , sweet soul who was always there for his friends. His painful losses as a child were a lot for him to carry but created in him an empathetic and true friend. Blessings and peace to this wise soul who died so young. 

Jack was my neighbor and friend.  He was a wonderful person!
