He was all class and a very fine broadcaster and journalist. What a tremendous life and career. RIP, Jack.

The Masters would't have him because he referred to the crowd there as a "mob".

What they didn't realize is that Jack Whitaker made every event he broadcast better.

RIP Jack. They sadly do not make broadcasters like him any longer.

JW didn't worry about his brand. He did not make himself part of the story, or overpower the events he covered. He has been and will be missed.
