My memories of Jack and Becky in Italy are among my fondest. They made the work rewarding and the battery became great. His legacy includes his awesome family, great accomplishments, lifelong friends, and hundreds of soldiers that he led and mentored. I count myself fortunate to be one of them.

Such sad news! Jack was a true friend and the man who gave me my start in the rehab business in Colorado Springs. He never minded working with low-end clients like me because he said, "I have made my money. Now it's time for me to teach others what I know." He was a real Godsend and a true Christian in the workplace. He will be deeply missed.

Captain Jack was my firing battery commander in Vicenza, Italy. Jack and Becky were a great team. They were great role models for my entire 30-year Army career. "...let it be said WELL DONE, be thou at peace..." Go ARMY Beat Navy!

Colonel Jack Gloroid was a mentor and friend of Army years. He touched my life in countless ways; and I modeled my leadership after his engaging style. His efforts on my behalf made a profound impact on me and my family. He will always be a hero of mine.

We were so blessed to have Jack when our beloved brother, Dennie, became ill with a fatal disease. Jack knew just how to support and help Dennie. God bless you, Jack.
