Condolences

Dear Millie, Don, Caryl, Katherine, Joanna, Andrew, Helane, the Browns and all who mourn the passing of Jack Linzer: Our sincerest condolences for your loss. I know Jack Linzer had many accomplishments and attributes, but the thing that always impressed me most about him was his unique ability to master languages. He seemed to have that particular talent for quickly grasping the understanding of words and phrases in many different tongues. Unfortunately, there are no words in any language to express how deeply he'll be missed. But may all your great memories of your husband, father, grandfather, inl-aw, friend, member of your community, or whatever role he fulfilled for you in life, help to ease your grief now and translate your recollections into happiness in time.
