I am very sad to report that our good friend and colleague Jack Calfee passed away last night, the victim of a heart attack.
Jack’s intelligence, honesty, wit and warmth were appreciated by those who knew him. His professional reputation speaks for itself.
Jack was always kind and helpful to me and was an indispensible guide along the shoals of healthcare policy.
And his eyes always had that wonderful twinkle.
Farewell Jack. Too soon.
Jack Calfee
