Dear Carolyn, Erin and Catherine,
When I came to Lancaster over 40 years ago as a pastor at Highland Presbyterian Church, I went to Jack as my barber. He became my barber and friend for all those years. He even took me fly fishing on one occasion. I was not his best student. We have had many conversations over the years covering every subject imaginable. I am grateful to you Carolyn for letting me know Jack was at Hospice.  I visited him on Friday, held his hand and had a silent prayer.  I returned Sunday to discover he had passed on Friday night.  I will always remember him as a bright, humorous and caring friend. The world is a better place because he lived in it.  He will be deeply missed.

Cordially, 
Jim Hanna

I don’t know exactly how long Jack was my barber, but I believe it has been since 1970 or so. We had a lot of fun over the years during our monthly visits.   Jack was a true people person and was able to relate to and keep the conversation flowing with all his diverse clientele.

I was saddened by his sudden illness and passing and I will miss him greatly.  In his absence, I switched to my wife’s salon and beautician and it just isn’t the same……

My condolences to all his family and friends.

Dear Carolyn and Family,
We have many pleasant memories from Jack’s days in Adamstown.  Fred and Jack were close friends through elementary school in Adamstown and high school at Cocalico Union.  They used to enjoy playing chess and participating in boy scouts. We are sad that Jack has passed away much too soon. May God bless you all with comfort in the assurance that Jack lives on in Heaven, and may God give you strength and guidance as you go forward with your own lives.

Fred, Beatrice and Randy Stauffer

Carolyn and family,

You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband/father. You and Jack were classmates of mine. I recall talking with you both, I believe, at our 35th year reunion.

May you find peace and strength in your memories.

Take Care!
Love,
Cheryl (Henly) Fausnacht

My wife and I were saddened by the news of Jack’s  passing. Her now grown sons had their hair cut by him; he always did such a great job. He came highly reccomended when I moved here. And he and I had some great conversations. I will miss my trips to his shop.

Dear Carolyn and family,
We were so sorry to hear about Jack’s passing. Remembering him from high school, he was always a mild-mannered, pleasant person. Hopefully, in the days to come, you will find peace just as he now has.  We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Lorah Family,
I moved to Lancaster about 6 years ago and started using Jack’s services at the recommendation of a colleague.   Not only did Jack cut my hair just right,  he was also interesting to talk with and an overall good guy.   I have a job that is stressful at times and would sometimes enter Jack’s shop with many things on my mind but always left with a clear head.   I will miss my every 6 week visits to the simple barbershop that appeared on the surface to offer so little compared to many modern hair salons but, because of Jack, offered so much more.

My sincere condolences,
Douglas J. Planeta

It was so sad to hear of Jack’s passing. Haven’t seen him since High School, but I always remember him as a very good person. May you all find peace in his having lived a good life.

With warm regards,

Carolyn & Family,
I am so saddened by the loss of Jack. I’m sure he was a wonderful husband & father,but to me he was not only the guy that cut my hair for 43 years but a very good friend. I will never forget him & the many stories we shared in the shop. I will miss him & will share in your loss, as he truly was a person who had a very positive affect on many people. You are in my prayers.

Dear Lorah Family,

Please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss.  He will be dearly missed by so many people.  Jack had been cutting my hair for over 30 years (since I was a teenager), and beyond the service he provided he was such a kind man and a dear friend.  Once a month I could look forward to good conversation and stories as well as sound advice if I asked for it.  The haircut was almost secondary.  I will miss him dearly and always remember him fondly.

Carolyn,

Jack was a great man.  He was my barber for 20-25 years, but he was much more than that.  He was a profound source of good advice and always had an interesting story.  I will always miss our political conversations we held together.  His wisdom, guidance, and kind nature will be missed.  God Bless Him!
