I worked with Jack back in the 1970’s/1980’s in my early days @ Commonwealth Edison. Jack was always a friendly voice with his assistance to me as a new field engineer with the Company with issues related to circuit breakers in the field. The ComEd family always remembers the great relationships we develop with each other through our working years and beyond. We share your grief in losing this great family member…

MaryKay; We were so sorry to hear that Jack lost his fight. He was so looking forward to the day when the old Drafting Department group could get together again for lunch. My memories go back to my first day at ComEd and all the nights we spent at IIT. The last time I spoke to Jack it was very clear that his faith in God was unshakable. I’m so glad for our long friendship! Jim
