Bill Sekerak says:
My Uncle Jack was a unique individual. He was someone who could always make you laugh and someone who obviously enjoyed life. We spoke frequently in the last few years of his life on the phone. I live in California and he once visited my mother and my family and he quickly became my teenage daughter’s favorite Uncle. I miss him very much.

I learned everything from Jack in the freight business. I’ll never forget him.
