Mrs. Washbourne,
Jack was one of my mentors at Hilco Industrial when he worked here.  I loved playing golf with him.  He was a great man and a true gentleman.
George Laidlaw

Have been acquainted with Jack professionally for almost 30 years.  I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional.  More importantly, he would go out of his way to be helpful and was a glass half full type of guy.  Always enjoyed being around him.  Jack will be greatly missed.  My condolences to the family.

My deepest regrets go out to the Washbourn Family. I have know Jack for many years and always found him to be one of the kindest  people that I have met not only in professional career, but personally as well. He always seemed to have a smile to share. He will be missed.

Although I did not have the chance to meet Mr. Washbourn, I learned of his kindness when Jerry Larkins passed away. I wish for peace to his family.

Dear Sylvia, I am deeply saddened by Jack's passing, he was a friend and mentor and will be missed professionally and personally by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Sylvia,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I have fond memories of Jack at the Sands pool parties! Having experienced the sudden loss of a spouse less than 3 years ago, I can certainly relate to the pain you must be feeling.  The pain will fade and become more and more bearable even though it doesn't feel that way now, but the wonderful memories you shared will not fade! God bless you and your family during these tough times.
