  1. Our hearts are broken with the sudden passing of Jack. We enjoyed visiting and sharing a meal with him and Dayna.

  2. Jack was a fraternity brother and longtime friend from the University of South Carolina of more than 50 years. We spoke recently and were hoping to meet again for dinner soon. His wonderful nature and unmistakable laugh will be missed by many who love him!

  3. I met Jack when he was working at Hall Institute in Columbia and I was working at the SC State Hospital in April of 1975. We stayed friends through all these years. Both my husband, David, and I cherished our relationship with both Jack and his wife Dayna, as well as with many mutual friends over the years. It’s not enough to say that we will miss him. There is a hole in our lives and hearts that will never be filled. He was a lovely, special man. Godspeed, Jack. We will miss you so.

  4. Jack always ‘showed up.’ He had an a wonderful gift of ‘being present.’ I will miss him sorely.

  5. I met Jack as a young lawyer back in the 1980s and worked on several cases together through the years. We transformed from colleagues to good friends and he was a great guy. So sorry for his untimely loss.

  6. AE Chapter brother, mentor and friend. Dr. John in City Park, New Orleans/Mardi Gras and Star Trek in the house lounge daily and tormenting “the Nub”. History in the making. RIP Jack.

  7. Jack was a gentleman. It was a pleasure when he came home in Halifax for holidays. Quick with a smile and a great laugh, he will be remembered with love.

  8. Such a shock to read this! Jack was a good friend in high school and I always looked forward to visiting with him at our high school reunions. He will be missed.

  9. So sorry to hear about Jack! We were classmates in high school–played football together and sold Bibles door -to-door in Wisconsin one summer. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family!

  10. Fond memories of Jack, as fellow high school journalism student & STAR staff; gratefully reconnected with him & Dayna in Asheville. A man of many layers; always generous with smiles & humor. May you rest in peace, my friend. Robin Owens Hall & husband Jay.

  11. Jack was a wonderful friend. We attended WNCPA together in past years, played lots of golf together and enjoyed a beer also! He was always hearty and warm and open. I sure will miss him. Everyone’s loss. Too soon.

  12. Jack was such a great guy and touched many lives. He added so much to our high school class and later our class reunions. Jack will be deeply missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our utmost sympathy is offered to his family. Linda and Scooter Dunn
