Jack was my first real art teacher. We met in the Commercial Art program at DMACC in the early 1970s. I went on to further my artistic education and become a professional artist but it was Jack that started it all. He was my teacher, my guru and my friend and I loved him. God bless and rest you Jack.
Marita and Family, We have great fun memories of Jack from teaching together to the Drama Workshop and especially moving that damn printing press. He was a great guide for me when I first began teaching. We helped each other and a had great time on our north end of the building. We started to notice the other teachers avoided our domain. I think they were afraid of the weird guys in the art and tech area! Rest in peace, old friend. Wendell & Connie
Dear Marita, Stephen, Robin & Aaron, I learned today of Jack's passing, and I know he'll be greatly missed. What stands out in my childhood memory of him is this--among the fathers I knew, he was the one with an abiding sense of humor. I never knew him to say a cross word, even in the face of impulsive childhood antics. Please accept our sincere condolences and our best wishes for all of you. Jon & Linda Gibson
To Marita, Robin, and all Jack's family, My memories of Jack go back to when my husband and I started teaching in Norwalk in 1966. Jack was a standout among the staff of 35 teachers, K-12, at the time. He became a favorite of our family. His art talents were utilized in both of our classes as he always generously shared his many talents. He also shared his wife with us as Marita became our 'tax lady' and dear friend and advisor, also. They both encouraged and enjoyed one of my cousins through the Drama Workshop when he appeared in some of the productions. This marvelous couple have a special place in my heart and in the hearts of many who came in contact with them. I am sure that Jack and Dave (my husband) are sharing old stories today in heaven!

I fondly remember Jack being present at Drama Workshop shows and rehearsals. With his fabulous wife, Marita, Jack was there to help our shows be a success. What a great couple. Prayers and warm thought s to Marita and family. Jack was a great guy! Susan Voss
To Marita, Stephen, Robin, Aaron, and family. Dear Jack, my brother-in-law and dear friend, I miss you. I send you my abiding love on the next leg of your remarkable journey. I share with your family and friends the emptiness that accompanies your loss but I am uplifted by the overflowing rich memories filled with laughter.
