iIn 1980 I I had the honour and pleasure of having Jack as my Rotary exchange student guardian/mentor. Jack was welcoming, warm,treated you like an adult and quietly firm. Jack was, as they say, a class act. His time in the service in WW 2 was a story not told to me by Jack in 1980, only discovered in conversation with him a a spry 89 year old on a visit to Sidney in 2010. Stories of the Burma Hump where told to me by my father and I thank Jack for his service to his country and the defense of mine, Australia. I pass on my condolences to Jack's wife and children the Knicely extended family. RIP Jack, maybe we will get another hit of tennis one day!
