| Jack passed away on December
28th, 2002 at 12:20pm. He died of complications arising from his
progressively deteriorating lungs. As his lungs failed him, his
ability to lead an independent life of his own choosing slipped
away. In the end, he did not want to fight his illness anymore and
let it take him. He died peacfully, surrounded by friends and family
at the age of 74.
There were two memorial services for Jack. The first was in, Los
Angeles where he had lived, and the second was in New York, where
he is buried. We have collected some of the eulogies. |
