We are incredibly sad to hear of Jack's passing!! He was an exceptional individual and a great man: a member of our Holocaust Survivors Speakers Bureau for years, he was one of our favorite presenters. Jack will be sorely missed. We know his legacy will continue to live on in his amazing story and in the hearts of his friends and family!

We send our heartfelt condolences to the family and to Lori, through whom we met Jack seventeen years ago while teaching at CAJE Hebrew High in Denver. We had the pleasure of hosting Jack at our home in Israel several years ago and were fortunate to see him again and introduce our children to him in Denver last summer. Our kids immediately connected with Jack through his humor and loving kindness. Jack had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. He was a brave man who went through a lot in life but didn't lose his positive spirit. We were lucky to know Jack and will always remember his warmth, kindness and good humor. May his memory be blessed. Ile and Eitan Schiffman Kfar Saba, Israel

Jack Welner was one of the most remarkable people I met during my years with the ADL and Allied Jewish Federation. Perhaps most important, our relationship blossomed during my many years teaching Sociology at night at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Jack was a prime resource to my students on the Holocaust, and Jan delighted in picking him up and returning him home. He was always informative, always with a positive attitude, never bitter. He told the students the most important thing they could do was to never let hate consume them, and to combat hatred no matter to whom it was directed. Hate is a waste of life, he told them, He always spoke about how determined he was to not let his oppressors win; he would tell himself constantly that no matter what he would survive them. And so he did. Jack's positive attitude and his sense of humor were everywhere in play. I said to him after one of his outstanding class visits that I hoped he would live to be 120. He then told the story of the Rabbi who was asked how one attains 120, and the answer was: first, you have to get to 119 and then be very, very careful. Even when Jan and I visited him at Brookdale a few weeks ago, he showed his warmth and affection for both of us and we ended with kisses and hugs (after the usual jokes, of course). What an incredible human being! We will miss him greatly, but will always be grateful for the times we spent together and his contributions to helping students understand the true meaning of life. May his memory be for a blessing.
