Mr Flick was an amazing teacher. Thoughts and Prayers are with his family.
When I came to Manheim Central in 1972, Jack was one of the first people that I met at the high school. He was friendly, engaging, and offered to help me as I made the transition to a new position as a high school administrator. Throughout my years at the high school, I could always count on Jack to be a team player and someone who was always there to help, in good time as well as those times when things were difficult. I remember him fondly and hope that his family can be sustained in the knowledge that their many memories of him can provide some solace as they deal with his passing.
