Although Jack was the oldest employee at Avis, he easily crossed the generations and was friend to all ages. His customers still ask for him, even just this past weekend. He shared his World War II stories with us and he will forever be our war hero. A life well lived by a man who loved and was loved. Thank you Jack for your service to our Country and to our Company.
