“May you R.I.P. Mr. Jenrette. You were a long time family friend, starting with being my father's college roommate at Wofford to being his first Law Partner in NMB and the may years of family friendship to follow. I've enjoyed knowing you and following your career and adventures. All the best to your family, especially Elizabeth and Hal during this difficulty time.”

“John was my friend and my first boss who taught me so much. He had a charm and charisma that was uniquely special, and he did so much for so many. My sincere sympathies to his wife, Rosemary, and to his children and grandchildren. We have truly lost a legend!”
