Jack and I went way back in our knoxville, TN time in graduate school. Jack and I were rooomates for a year or more. He was so modest and helpful for all of us in grad school studies. His scientific accomplishment and volunteer works were at the highest level, and yet, he never take credits. We will miss a GOOD MAN!
