Dear Chris, John and Katie --
So sad to hear about Jack. His friendship meant so much to Nick, and I'll never forget how he always welcomed me into the "IA fold". I'll miss his warmth and sense of humor and wish I could be at his memorial tomorrow but am sending my best with Nick.

We lost another 52nd street kid.
Stiengrabes was one of many big families on 52nd street. We all knew each other, hung out and some are lifetime friends.
As we all grew up we went our separate ways but we all remember our time and friends on 52nd street.
I’m sorry for your loss

Jack was a good friend of my husband Art. They had much in common, especially canoeing. I’m sure they had great conversations about sports and politics. I’m sorry for your loss.
