“Dear Jody, and family, I am so sad to find out about Jack. He was a complex man, who was sensitive, caring, and often very quiet but always a profound thinker. Our Community will not be the same without this energy and input. He truly saved many people's lives as an amazing attorney who was not reluctant to help the most "addicted and hopeless" cases by suggesting Rehab vs. just plain jail. I am so so sorry for your loss. And I am grateful I was able to experience him in action.”
