Jack & I worked together at UCC both in Savannah Box and moved to Morristown TN in 1967 to start up a new box plant. He was a great guy and everyone admired him. My fondest memories of him are his WWII stories and particularly the one about 'Lord Hamburger'.

I worked with Jack at Savannah and again at Morristown. I admired his abilities and considered him a gentleman in every respect. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I had the priviledge of working with Jack at Union Camp Morristown and also staying in touch with him over the past few years when I would call him on behalf of the Union Camp Morristown retirees. Jack was always a joy to be around, to talk with and to know. He was always upbeat and positive - a real class act. I am sending this not only for myself, but on behalf of the IP-Union Camp Retirees. Our thoughts and prayers are with you - his friends and family.
