Mr McErlain and his wife treated me like family and he was a cool father. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family for a short time . My sympathy to all the family. Bob Engle"
"I worked for Jack at Datapro. My memories are of a man of warmth and humor who managed fairly but firmly. He was the image of the perfect boss. I learned a lot from him early in my career and am forever grateful. May his family be comforted knowing he always did his best and encouraged others to do the same."
