My deepest sympathy to the family. I did not know Jack that long, but in the time that I did know him he was a very good man. Most of our conversations did involve his theater performances and operas. Jack did know that I was a huge Opera fan and he did love to share his stories with me. To the family once again you have my deepest sympathy.
