I was a student of Jack's at APU from 2000-2004 and I am fairly certain I had at least one course with him every semester that I was there. I was in the pre-engineering program and also helped him develop the robotics section of the physics department along with Joe Denny. I have vivid memories of working away in the back room of the Physics Lab that connected to his office and we would often chat away about our love of the outdoors (snow skiing, hiking) and playing tennis. I kept in touch with Jack for many years afterwards when I continued my studies at Cal State Fullerton and when I began working at Northrop. I even invited him along to an awards ceremony since he played such a pivotal role in my vocation as an engineer. We really do stand on the shoulders of those that have gone before us and I feel as though Jack's shoulders were very high. He cared about his students and was an important mentor in my life. I am now a theologian in Oxford but I teach science and religion and focus mostly on technology. I am certain those seeds sown many years ago which endeavored to bring our faith into contact with our studies did much in helping me in my present vocation. He is sorely missed and I look forward to seeing him again in glory.
