“So now the world will not be the same, having lost a gentleman of character and righteousness, kind and giving and with humility rarely seen. This is a man exemplary of humanity at its best. He wove threads into our weave that will remain strong because of him, held much together for us, built confidence, kept us legally accurate, lit our hope and composed a scaffolding of strength. He spoke encouraging words which warmed us, he is a true light. I will hold onto his friendship. Margy Balwierz”

“I grieve the loss of Jack to our world. Even more (a bit of humor here for Julie), I grieve the loss of his vote. Jack was a true humanitarian who gave much to all of us who knew him. He did the legal work for the creation of Spring Valley Seniors Staying Put pro bono because that’s just the kind of man he is. Thank you to Julie and the Kenefick daughters’ families for sharing him with the rest of us! May he rest in peace after meeting his beloved horse at the rainbow bridge.”
