Dear Eileen. Kath and I cannot yet imagine the future without Jack. We are so surprised and sad. We look forward to seeing you. Love, Mike and Kathy
Your family is in our prayers in this time of sorrow. Knowing that true comfort comes from our God, that is our prayer.
Jack, you were a gentleman and a scholar. I will miss you.
I am stunned and saddened at Jack’s passing. He was a wonderful colleague–both professionally and personally. He contributed to the quality of our work and to the the spirit of the teams. These contributions will live on.
Eileen, Jack began and ended every conversation we had with a smile. That’s how I’ll remember him – so genuine and warm. I will miss him more than words can say.
I am sorry to hear about Jack. I truly enjoyed knowing and working with him over the years. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Ev
Jack was such a wonderful colleague and friend. He was a true gentleman. His warmth and humor were present in every interaction. His face would glow when we talked about his family, especially his grandaughter. My heart breaks for your loss. With deepest sympathy, Jackie
Eileen, We felt the deep love you and Jack shared whenever you were together. We will miss him deeply. We are holding you both in our hearts.
Dear Jack, You were the Best, Chuck
My deepest sympathy during this very difficult time. Jack was a true professional in the work place and always a gentleman. His genuine smile and warm character will be truly missed. May God keep you all in his prayers and may my friend and colleague Rest in Peace.
Eileen. Jack was such a good friend and colleague. Life with Jack was fun. I am so sad at his passing.
I am so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He was a very friendly face at work and always had a smile and a “Hi Valerie!” when I saw him in the hallways. Please accept my condoolences on your loss.
Eileen, I enjoyed meeting you at Jack’s retirement ceremony. While Jack’s passing was a shock, please know that he will be warmly remembered by all of us at GAO who were priviliged to work and collaborate with him. Blessings and peace to you and your family.
Jack was one of the best work colleagues I ever had, both insightful and fun. My deepest sympathies to his family.
I am shocked over the passing of Jack, my deepest condolences. I had the privilege of working with him over the past several years and we got know each other fairly well. He always had good advice. Jack was a really good guy and will be missed.
Dear Eileen: John and I are both shocked and saddened by Jack’s sudden passing. You and I have been through a lot together over our 30 year friendship. You are in my heart today and always. I’m your “forever” friend.
Eileen, I am so sorry. Jack was such a good friend, not to mention colleague. His set point was for happiness and he liked to spread it around. He was warm and fun and solid and the only person I know to suggest that paint balling might be the remedy for the local deer population. I count myself lucky to have known him and can’t imagine how much you will miss him. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.
Eileen: I offer you and all of Jack’s family my deepest sympathy. Life sends us many acquaintances, but too few friends of conviction. Jack was one of the too few for me and I will miss him dearly. God’s peace to you.
Dear Eileen, I was stunned to hear of Jack’s passing. Through our annual Xmas card exchange I knew of his retirement, and was glad to hear that the two of you were going to be able to relax and have fun. What a horrible, horrible thing to happen. The world lost a great man. My deepest sympathies.
Jack was one of the kindest, hardest-working, most gracious, people I had the pleasure to work with. He was always eager and willing to share his knowledge and skills. He made every job a pleasure, and his talents and strengths in bringing people together made our work better. His quiet strength and kind, patient straightforwardness have been a model for me. I am a better person and a better manager because of Jack. I will truly miss my friend and colleague. My deepest sympathies to his family — his face lit up whenever he spoke of you.
It is with much sadness that we send our love and prayers to Eileen and the Warner family. Unfortunately I can not be there because I live in NJ but know we are there in spirit. Much Love Michele and Marty Bender
Dear Eileen, My condolences to you and your family — you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jack talked about you all frequently and was very proud of you! Jack was also a true friend to me, and many others, and a real gentleman. Every encounter I ever had with Jack was a good one and I am fortunate to have had him as a friend.
Just wanted to let you know that your family and friends in Ohio are thinking of you and you are in my prayers.
Dear Eileen and family- It was always a joy to see Jack, with his big smile and playful, loving demeanor. What a wonderful man. We will miss him deeply, and hold you in our hearts. With love – Maris and Larry
My sincere condolences to the family on the passing of Mr. Warner. He was such a nice person and I know the family will truly miss him. There are no words that can heal the pain, only time and fun memories will do that. I pray that in the passing days that the hurt you feel now will soon be over. Please believe in God’s word that “To Be Absence From The Body Is To Be Present With The Lord.” Praying for your relationship with our Father that he takes only the best.
Eileen and family-I am so very sorry for your loss. Jack was a one of a kind, caring coworker. He had a smile for everyone and I am a better person for knowing him. Much love.
To the Warner family, I am truly sorry for your loss; Jack was a great colleague for many of us at GAO. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I have a difficult time finding the right words to express the sadness I feel about Jack’s death. I valued his friendship and will greatly miss him. When I had questions about cost accounting I always went to him for guidance. When I retired from GAO almost five years ago, Jack helped me stay in touch with some of my former colleagues by arranging to get together for lunch every few months. I will remember his smile and upbeat personality. Jack could always see the good in people and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I know Jack is making his new home a better place by just being himself and doing what would come naturally to him.
My heart goes out to the family in this time of sorrow. A Mass will be offered for the repose of his soul at Saint Marys parish in Chinatown DC, where I would see him attend daily Mass. May God’s Grace strengthen you!
It is with deep sorrow and many prayers we celebrate Jack’s life, he was a very special person, known and loved by all. My deepest condolences Eileen, with all our love and prayers. Pat Culnen, Mark, Michael & Lourdes, Rob & Lisa Culnen.
Nick and I were in DC just two weeks ago and we didn’t have a chance to come and see you and Eileen. We would have loved to have seen you and enjoyed that spirit you always had, that quiet charm and behind the scenes sense of humor. Of course none of us will forget your passion for ND football. You touched our lives and our family in so many ways. You are truly missed. We will keep that character of yours in our memories and cherish the brightness that you brought to Eileen. We are truly grateful for all your generosity with my parents and your loving nature. You just left too soon, and we all are feeling that loss and wondering why.
Jack and I worked together on the US Merchant Marine Academy job. We helped each other keep our sanity on that engagement. He was a gentleman and a professional, and I know he was looking forward to retirement and spending more time with his family, but he made the work day for many of us so much better. My heart goes out to his family, and I pray that his memory will be eternal.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Mrs. Warner, I am so very sorry for your loss. Jack was a very good man and I can’t believe that he is gone. During all the years I have been at GAO I don’t believe I ever saw Jack without a smile on his face. We had worked together closely over the last 6 months and whenever we talked about our families you could tell how proud he was of you and your daughter and how much he looked forward to spending more time with you. He was a very kind and caring person and I know I, as well as many others, will miss him greatly. God Bless you and your family.
To the Warner Family, My sincere condolences. Jack was a fantastic person and a pleasure to work with and be around. His kind soul and funloving spirit will be missed by all who knew him. I pray that GOD gives your family peace which surpasses all understanding during this difficult time and that you find solace in the memories you’ve shared with him. The world is a little dimmer with his loss.
While I got to know Jack only just recently, it was evident from the start that he was one of the kindest and most sincere people I’ve worked with. My deepest sympathies.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you and your family.
Charles Swindoll said that attitude is more important than facts. He said it is more important than education, money, circumstances, failures, successes, and what other people think, say or do. He said it was more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. He said that the remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude. He was convinced that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. When I saw a copy of Swindolls mantra on a piece of paper in Jacks office, I asked to make a copy. Its hung in my office ever since. Jack brought these words to life in the positive attitude he chose and shared every day at GAO. If each of us could have just a bit of the positive attitude Jack embraced every day, the world would be a better place. Im honored to have worked with Jack and so very saddened for your loss.
Dear Eillen when I heard the news I wanted to call you, I could not believe it. There are no words to describe the loss of a loved one. My deepest condolences to you and your family. If there is anything you need please let us know.
I have good memories of Jack as a very professional and friendly colleague in our interactions at GAO.
I was on of Jack’s IT support people here at GAO. He was always friendly and was always chipper! My condolences at your loss. May the Lord bless you and strenghten you in this time!
Jack was a very special person who touched the lives of so many people, positively. His sudden death is shocking. May he rest in eternal peace. With deepest sympathy to his family.
On September 11, 2001 I went to lunch with Jack and two others and we processed that shocking day by just spending time together. I thank Jack for that tender memory. I look forward to being with others at his funeral so we can process this sad, sad loss together.
Eileen, I was shocked to hear Jack had passed. Jack and I knew each other at GAO since he started. He told me about how you and him got acquainted. He loved you very much. Jack was a good friend, hard worker, and a kind man. We were all blessed to know him. I hope his memories give you strength in this difficult times and in the days ahead.

Working with Jack was indeed a privilege. I will not forget his generosity of time and friendship, his smile and quick laugh, or his insight. My deepest sympathies.
I was one of Jack’s accounts in Divine, Blaylock in WPB, FL and also a drinking buddy at ole Crazy Horse, the good ole days. Yep and we celebrated birthdays together since mine was the 13th but 2 years later in 1948. I’ve missed you since leaving WPB for Myrtle beach, SC after my motorcycle accident in 1996. So long, good friend, Greg
Eileen , I’m so sorry for your the loss of your husband. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May God raise you up and embrace you in this tragic time! God bless jack ! God bless you and your family. Thinking of you!! Cathy Hickey
Jack, You were a wonderful boss and you were willing to help me when I needed it. You always greeted everyone with a smile. My prayers are with your family – you will be missed. Jennifer
Eileen Condolence! Sorry to hear about your loss.
Jack will sincerely be missed. I was blessed with the opportunity work with him at the GAO in the Financial Management and Assurance Team. Jack was always smiling and happy. He was a kind and decent man. I would like offer my deepest condolences to his wife, family, and friends, rest assured because God is in control and he never makes mistakes.
Eileen, When Rick called and told me about Jack, I couldn’t believe it. He will surely be missed. I wanted so much to personally be there for you. Please know that in my absence, my thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time. God bless you and give you strength.
I’m so sorry to hear about Jack. He was one of the best people I have ever met. My prayers are with you.
I had the pleasure of working with Jack at GAO. He was such a lovely man/colleague. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
A true example of a Mentor…

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. –Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932 Jack, you will live on in the hearts of all the people whose lives you have touched.
I don’t even know how to put into words how much of a shock this has come. Jack took me to see my very first college football game years ago (Florida state which is my team vs Notre Dame). He got me interested in computers and now I am a software developer. He had such a touching relationship with my son over something as small as a coo coo clock. I will always remember the good times. I love you Uncle Jack and I will miss you. I can only ask God to help my Aunt Eileen and the rest of the family and friends to heal in this difficult grieving process over one of the greatest men I have ever known.
To Jack’s Family: I was very fortunate to work with Jack at GAO for many years. He was one of the happiest people I’ve ever met, and he shared his happiness with everyone he came in contact with. Jack was that wonderful and rare combination of a consummate professional and a real person. He was smart and worked hard, but he was also kind, patient, and thoughtful. He talked about you all the time with great joy. I am so sorry that he is gone so soon.
There are no words to explain the devastation felt when I heard about our beloved brother-in-law Jack. He cherished you and your family. He took us all under his wing and would help us with anything. He meant so much to us all including Ben. Jack was so patient with him and to let him call him Uncle Johnny was so so special to him. Jack will now get to go to all the Notre Dame games and even help if needed. LOL. Love and blessings my dear Eileen. I will try to be there for you where ever possible. Brian

Dear Eileen, This bible passage from the Book of Timothy has always brought me comfort and it is very fitting for Jack. ….The time of my departure is at hand I have competed well, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith… Keep faith and stay strong. Remember “Happy Jack”
