Jeanne and family, so very sorry for your loss, Jack was a real great guy . Always ready to help out, he loved to kid around will never forget working with him in the office, he will be sadly missed. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
Where do I even begin in terms of memories from when I was a child up until the last time we crossed paths. Only we and our families can truly understand the special nature and bonds that entwine us in the fire service and in particular here in Lawrence. Thank you Lieutenant for all your hard work and laughs. Thank you for you and your family’s generosity opening your home to visitors and a port of refuge in a storm. Godspeed and rest easy Lieutenant!
Rest in Peace Lt.
After knowing you since I was a kid, it was such an honor to get to work with you on the greatest job in the world with the Lawrence Fire Department.
You are another legend gone.
God Bless your wife and family during this difficult time.

You were like a grandfather to my sisters and I. So many happy childhood memories are filled with you and Mrs. Burton. We were so lucky to have you as our neighbor. Funny, kind, caring, loving, and silly were just a few words to describe you. We will forever hold onto those memories. Rest In Peace.
You were one of a kind, original and special. Gonna miss you Rub <3. I know my dad is waiting to see you and holding a spot for you with him in heaven. All my love and prayers for your family in this time of loss and sorrow. Losing someone special never gets easier. ~ judy
