So sorry to hear the news of Jack’s passing. We are good friends of Mike & Lori in Omaha and have enjoyed their company at several wine tasting gatherings over many years. Our prayers go out to everyone in Jack’s family. Take Care & God Bless.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. He was a such a kind and generous man, and full of warm and humorous tales. It was an honor to know him and Peggy, and cook for them over the years. So many memorable evenings! I will miss him and keep his memory close.
I am one of Jack and Peggy’s many nieces and wish to acknowledge the wonderful couple that we all came to know and love over the years for their gentle spirit, extraordinary generosity, solid faith, and sincere love and respect for each other as well as their adored family. They are missed by all. They leave behind a great legacy. We will continue to treasure their wit, wisdom and desire to do what we can in the time we are given to make the world a little better. Special condolences to Kathy, Dave, Mike and Mary, and their precious families.
Thoughts and prayers for your family.
Sympathy and prayers to the Gordon family. I knew his parents and brother Bob. The Cedar Press would like to be able to print a full obituary if you have one so that the people of Cedar Rapids (his home town) can be made aware of his passing.
My Sincere Sympathy in the loss of your dear Dad.
It was a priviledge to be on his Anesthesia team.
We are deeply sadden about Jack’s death. He was very inspirational dealing with adversity. Our sympathy to his family.
Jack was the oldest of my cousin’s. So sorry to hear of his passing. We enjoyed a few nice visits over the years.
Bill and Nancy Gordon
