Judy and family: I along with several of the officers that served with Master Chief Jaecks are saddened by your loss. I personally remember Master Chief as a man who lived up to the meaning of the term Master Chief. He ALWAYS wanted and did his best for the young sailors, while at the same time, ensuring that his Ensigns and Lieutenants were good to go. I will always remember the times that Master Chief Jaecks stood by me in any issues I had within Engineering Department. I’ll also treasure the times that we had in just talking about the Navy and the way it used to be. Master Chief Jaecks will be missed by us all. May God bless you Judy and your family. I know Master Chief is up there with God.

Very respectfully,

Alfred J. Gloria, Lieutentant, USN

Formerly EP and A-Division Officer, USS Trenton, LPD 14

My deepest sympathy. I served with Mike on the USS Trenton. We spent a great deal of time together, especially on our Med cruise in 1998.
