SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.  I JUST READ HIS BOOK "SHOT AT AND MISSED". MY FATHER WAS A BOMBADIER IN THE WAR AND ALSO WAS IN THE B-17 FLYING FORTRESS AND STATIONED IN ENGLAND.  HE ALSO FLEW 35 MISSIONS.  NEVER TOLD ANY OF US 6 KIDS ABOUT IT UNLESS WE ASKED AND HE WOULD REPLY "I FLEW IN A PLANE". MY MOTHER WOULD GIGGLE AND THEN TELL US A FEW OF THE STORIES.  HE KEPT A DIARY OF THE 35 MISSIONS HE FLEW BUT I AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO.  SOME SCARY AND SAD STORIES.  AGAIN, SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.  HE WAS A HERO!!

Pop will always live in our hearts. We loved him and are so glad to have shared a life with such a remarkable man. We will miss him immensely. The love and care of Gina gave him a reason to outlive all his immediate family members. All his family got to enjoy his great stories and share their love and respect for him. He has to be giving saint Peter a run for his money on story telling.

Mark and I were so sad to hear of Jack's passing.  Our memories of him will always be of a man full of fun and a wonderful family man.  Don't think we'll ever forget the night of the JMHS reunion!  Our thoughts and prayers and with you all during this very difficult time.

dear myers family---i am so sorry to hear of mr myers death and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. i met mr myers after reading his book. he very graciously invited me to his home and even signed books for my son and me. we chatted periodicaly on the phone over the last two years. though it was a short friendship, it was very important to me and i feel very blessed for having known mr myers and for him considering me a friend. i will miss that i can't call him, but i will treasure the friendship we had. emil jantz, oklahoma city, oklahoma

I am so sorry to hear about Jack's passing. Danny thought Jack was an exceptional person and loved to hear the WWII stories and of course the first time I got to meet him was at one of the baby showers. I'm sure Jack knew how much all of you loved him and I know he will be greatly missed. I believe your dad leaves a great legacy through his children and grandchildren and I am sure he was proud of each and every one of you. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and I hope to see you Saturday.

Sorry for your loss Gina.  Our family sure sends our love and prayers.  We will not be able to make it; our apologies.  Have prior engagements.  Take care of yourself  and again our prayers to you and your family.  

Albert Peters and family(Mandy, Tiffany, Joshua and wife Holli).

I am truly sorry to hear of Jack's passing.  I first met Jack when he spoke to the Will Rogers ANG Retiree Association in 2005.  He was the first speaker to be awarded an "Honorary Lifetime Membership."  That is a wonderful testimony to how well he bonded with his fellow airmen.  Since then, we were able to keep in touch by phone and email.  I will truly miss this member of "The Greatest Generation."  

Happy Landings, Jack!!
