***************************************************************************************************************************
I'm so saddened to hear this news. Jack was very good friends with our classmate Rick Buesch who lived and worked in Aspen the last 16 years of his life and had assisted Rick with efforts for the special Vietnam memorial that lies adjacent to the Pitkin County Courthouse. We had a nice visit at the dinner held after Rick's memorial service in Feb 2001. I tried to get in touch with Jack about 6 years ago when I was in Aspen celebrating my son-in-laws birthday, but couldn't reach him.

Sad news indeed! Jack was a classmate at Joseph Sears and NT. One of my most prominent memories of Jack was playing impromptu games of touch football, often in Mahoney Park
