I have known Jack since around 1970 in business and personally. We relocated to Florida in ‘88 where did represent VUM for a period of time. Jack was a knowledgeable professional and we had a lot in common being Drafted, Classic and performance cars and a great lunch at Manny’s in Moonachie. Although we are on the same coast we never took the opportunity to get together.
R.I.P. Jack you will be missed.
