John Ferraro wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Irma, I was so saddened to learn of Jacks passing. He was a wonderful scientist, clinician, teacher, colleague and friend. His contributions to the field of audiology are legendary, as are the many volumes of his outstanding textbook, Handbook of Audiology. I was honored to know and collaborate with him for so many years. John Ferraro”
