Jack was truly respected for his capabilities, technical acumen, and cooperative work ethic. It was always a pleasure to work with him at Dexisive, as well as with Petrina. I will miss interacting with him.
Petrina, Tooley and I just found out about Jack. Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. I always enjoyed talking to Jack – his technical insight was always “spot on”. The community and Air Force have lost a true friend and patriot. Jim and Tooley
I am very saddened by the news about Jack. I met Jack over 10 years ago at EDS, and always enjoyed working with him, and benefiting from his deep technical knowledge. Jack was a true professional and a role model. My condolences.
A smart, gentle, happy man, who exuded love for his wife, sons, and his fellow man. The world has lost a warm light. I will cherish the memories of working with him and sharing lots of laughs. Petrina,your sorrow must be great. I hope that knowing how much we all care about you and Jack will help a little. Love, Anne Cook
