Most of the readers on this site will never know what Jack Kyser meant to local journalism, but I found him a wonderful source during the six-plus years I worked as a business reporter and editor.

He was always co-operative and always returned calls. He was also knowledgeable about every subject I ever asked him about.

Rest in peace, Jack.

Jack was a class act. At my many years at a large LA newspaper, anytime we had a question or needed Jack to visit us in person for a speech or a small lunch, he always made time and always delivered.

Thank you Jack, a true professional and a good guy.
