Remembering many years of business and friendship.
Jack was a really nice guy. I enjoyed my interactions with him while I was working at the Star Telegram.
Rebecca,
I am so sorry for your loss. I thought the world of Jack. I had tremendous respect for his intelligence, appreciated his sense of humor, and very much admired his kind spirit. This is indeed a sad day.
Rebecca, I am so sorry to hear about Jack. I always thought you and Jack were some of the nicest people I every dealt with in all my years of business in Fort Worth. I still have a graphic design business, but it’s all digital now and I don’t interact with a lot of business people now. I alway enjoyed visiting with Jack on Morton Street.
Rebecca,
Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Please know that I look back on the time I worked for you all with fond memories of you, Jack, and JD. Hardly a week goes by that I don’t think of something I learned there.
Dear Rebecca – After some 45 years in the ad biz, I still treasure the times Jack worked so long and hard to get the scans, slicks and azos just perfect. Long days and short nights. He saved my butt so many times. Craftsmen like Jack were few and now are non-existent. But the memories live on.
Jack was one of the nicest, most honest men that I had the privilege to do business with over the period of several years. Everyone on our staff knew that Jack would meet our sometimes ridiculous deadlines, would do a terrific job, and always at a fair price. I will most certainly miss him and his warm smiles.
