Like many other former students, I am grateful that I had the chance to work with a man of such high intellectual and ethical standards. As a mentor and a model, he was unsurpassed.

Loss is an integral part of loving. Those who love deeply feel the loss of the one they love deeply. I know that this is your experience, right now.
My prayer is that God will give you comfort and set His peace in the midst of your grief.

We want to express our sincere condolences to the family and our sadness in the loss of a truly loving and wonderful person whom we were proud to call our friend for over 40 years. Part of the difficulty in having recently moved so far away is that we were unable to be there for Jack and his family in the trying times of his illness. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers and we remember Jack with much joy, respect and friendship. We know he will be sadly missed by many, ourselves included.

Deirdre and Family, What can I say? Jack was a special friend and I'm going to miss him. Deirdre, you are an inspiration to me - you are a rock and your love for Jack is so evident - I was so touched when Sandie, Dena and I came to visit a few months ago. I'm so glad to have seen Jack one more time and I am looking forward to his memorial; it's so approriate for what Jack would want. Please know that you will remain in my thoughts and prayers and I am looking forward to seeing you again soon. Love ya, Cindy

Dear Dierdre and family,
Fanny and I send you our heartfelt condolences. I don’t have to tell you that he was a great man, as well as a great engineer and scientist. I am so grateful for everything he taught me, from acoustic phonetics and auditory physiology to psychophysics and experimental design. Some of the ideas he taught me as a PhD student were the basis for my first NIH grants, many years after I left New Orleans. He was a real role model not only because of the quality of his thinking but also because of his honest, ethical attitudes. He was a good man.
Some people say you don’t really die until everyone who loved you is gone. If so, Jack will be with us for a long, long time (as I type this I can imagine Jack smirking and saying: “Gee, Mario, that’s really original”- Sorry, Jack, it may not be original but it’s true).
