I remember Jack very well and I'm saddened by his passing. He was a great man and taught me some important things at the beginning of my career here in Syracuse in the 1970's. I admired him very much. Thank you, Jack, for taking the time to teach a young respiratory therapist and to encourage me. May you Rest In Peace forever Jack.

It only seemed like yesterday that I visited in Spencerport. I am overwhelmed with sadness last Jack's passing. Jack was a great person with a heart for the down trodden. I first met him in 1967 when he was the director for inhalation therapy at Crouse Irving Hospital and I was a trainee. He took me under his wing when I was only a trainee. It was because of Jack (my friend) that I was able to become an upstanding member of the respiratory community. I recently tried to call you only to find your p0hone disconnected. We were going to go fishing but as time passes by we sometimes put things on the back burner. I'm so sorry we were not able to connect. We had great times together on and off the clock. To all of his family, please accept my deepest condolences. I will miss you my friend.

Dear Eva and family, I was saddened to learn about Jackie's death. I worked with Jackie at GED. All the students loved him; when they came back after taking the GED test from Jackie, the comments were always that Jackie was such a nice man, who was kind and helpful. I worked with Jackie for several years before I learned that he was married to a dear friend of mine, growing up in Osceola, Eva. PLease accept my deepest sympathy and my love. Jackie was a fine man and had a great influence on many people. He will be greatly missed. Love, Linda Ritchie Burns
