I had an office downtown for many years, and having done legal work for Manny when he put Baby Blues together, got to know many of the downtown denizens--including Rick, Ti Mahashi, John Cunningham, to name a few. Jack was one of the old "regulars" and was a waiter at L'Entrecote (I think) early on. One of the Good Guys. Sorry to see him pass. wayne lenhardt

Jack and I worked together briefly at the Amsterdam Hilton when he returned briefly from Canada, got his sports car,and lived the life. Happy times when we both had smiles on our faces. Jack was Jack a character and a real generous soul to us all. My memories are as clear now as the mid 70's when we were together. God speed old friend, see you later. Harry Johnson.
