    To The Prout Family;
    I was sorry to hear the news yesterday of Jack’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am thankful I was given the opportunity to work for Jack in Parkhill many moons ago as a teenager. A time in my life that will not be forgotten. It was a job I very much enjoyed, having a great boss helped. I’ve hemmed many of pants since. Thanks to Jack for teaching me.
    God Bless;

    Please accept my deepest condolences at this very difficult time.
    I honestly did not know Jack for very long. I wish I did.As you know , in his retirement, he worked for Collins Formalwear…and at times delivered my Tuxedo orders for the upcoming weekend. I must tell you that Jack was a true gentleman. We always talked about our trade.So many of the Sales Representatives in our industry have only great things to say about Jack…and the utmost respect for such a wonderful man!
    He will be missed by many.
    God’s Blessing to you and your family.

    To the Prout Family
    I had the pleasure of knowing Jack since i was very young, running up the stairs to let him know his tuxes had arrived. Throughout all of those years I remember how kind and caring of a person he truly was. When he joined our company he instantly became one of our most valuable, hardworking and dedicated employees. I truly hope I leave the impression on others that he has left on me. He will be sadly missed by all of us at Collins. To Jack the GREAT, rest in peace.
