    Our sympathy to the McKown family. Jack was a warm, friendly, and very effective leader. While he worked for the PICPA, he was extremely supportive to Pittsburgh area CPAs. He has been missed since his retirement. J.J. and Margaret Bosley

    Dear Virginia and family, Although we didn't meet personally, I have thought of you, often, since Christmas cards and internet allowed us to communicate. Jack was one of my favorite cousins. My father "allowed" me to write to Jack, when he was in the service. He was the only cousin I had who was in the service. Yes, we were 2nd cousins, or some such thing. I remember the positive spirit of your "Jack" and his ready smile. I send my sympathy and my thoughts are with you at this time. God Bless all of you, Jane E. Douglass Staley
