<DIV>My goodness! Just returned to town and logged on. What a shock to hear that Uncle Jack has passed away. If it wasn't for Uncle Jack and his buddy Joe Alexander, I'd probably still be thinking about getting into vintage racing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They answered my VTR ad about purchasing a Triumph vintage racer in December of 2004. When I was in Chicago on business the following January, I managed to sneak away and drive over to Geneseo to take a look at a red TR4 that Jack and Joe were selling. Uncle Jack and Frances were very gracious to me. After breakfast we went out into the garage and crawled all over #24, but frankly, it was hard not to keep my eyes off of Jack's blue and white TR4. The workmanship was amazing and the Triumph was a winner just sitting there. I knew I was in the presence of someone who was a professional in this field.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was a no brainer for me. I bought the car and left Uncle Jack with a lengthy laundry list of "enhancements" suggested by him. Uncle Jack was very fair in his prices, the quality of his work was outstanding and he delivered on time. I can't remember how many times he answered my calls and responded to my e-mails, but it was a bunch.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I echo all the sentiments I've read tonight, Uncle Jack was a great mentor, racer, family man and an icon in FoT.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My condolences to Frances and Tony, Joe and Jan and all the folks who knew "Uncle Jack" far longer than I have.</DIV>
