“We were very saddened to hear of Jack's untimely passing. Glenn literally followed him around the world during our parallel careers: The Pentagon, the United Kingdom, and finally Los Alamos National Laboratory. I was privileged to work for him at the Air Force Office of Security Police as well. A great leader and true patriot -- he will be greatly missed. Our heartfelt sympathy to Sonja and the family. We will keep you all in our prayers.”

“I was deeply saddened to learn of Jack's passing. For Sonja, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how totally dedicated and loving he was to you and your family.

My wife Lisa and I will travel to Cape May, NJ to be there for his service so we can pay tribute and respect to Jack Killeen, Great American. Mike Wismer”
