Jack was a true friend of CAFAA. He was always ready for a friendly conversation and words of advice. With a beer in his back pocket and a smile on his face, he will be missed.

Kay and family,

Mere words cannot express my sorrow at Jack's passing. For those of us within the student financial aid community in Colorado who had the pleasure of seeing and talking with Jack at our conferences, a smile on his face and his ever present camera around his neck, he will be missed.
