Here is a sample of Jack's artistic talents, it only took a few minutes, and was a prelude to his future occupation. A great friend, always smiling.

We used to have drawing shoot-outs in mr. crutcher's class. Jack was a great photographer too, and I have one of his pictures he took of me looking out the window of the art class. He really caught the moment. I spent, and still do, my career doing architectural rendering and now some gallery stuff. I sure would like to talk to Jack. Damn. Jim Blumel

Many times I would visit at Jack's home and he would proudly show me his latest sketches and drawings. It was a privilege to know and see such mind-blowing talent at work! There was no doubt what Jack would do with the rest of his life... at the time he was totally captivated by Vivien Leigh... he certainly knew beauty when he saw it. He's probably still busy sketching angels....on high. May he rest in glorious peace.
