Jack is missed by many and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. He was a friend to many and an enemy of none. He and I worked for the same company for over 10 years and hardly a day went by that we did not trade barbs via email or instant messaging. I will always miss him.

I only knew Jack for a few years, 7th - 9th grades in Japan, but we were pretty good friends back then. We had a lot of fun knocking around Sagami Depot, and camping with the Boy Scouts. I remember him working exceptionally hard to qualify for the 7th Nippon Jamboree. Those were great times!

I remember Jack very well. My condolences to the family.

My memories of Jack revolve mainly around playing DYA baseball together back in 8th grade. We were both outfielders and he was a great hitter. Jack would astonish us every once in a while by knocking one over the fence. It was my first year playing any organized sports and I remember him and those days with such fondness. RIP Jack.
