I served Jack coffee at the Starbucks on Powers and Constitution almost everyday for 4 years, he was a kind hearted man and I will truly miss him. My condolences to his family.

As a fellow band member in the Falls City
High band, I've tried for years to locate Jack. Along with Joel, we competed for 1st chair Trumpet but Jack
practiced less and never made it. Well,
strangely, I have finally located him.
and may his loved ones remember his
joi de vivre.

Joyce, Tom and Susan and family. I was shocked to learn of Jack's death in the World Herald. Jack was an excellent lawyer, always brought his sense of humor to bear and was always "in control." I worked on many cases with him in Omaha but his first and foremost interest was always you, his family. My thoughts are with you.
