I am extremely sad to write that my beloved grandfather, Jack Fleischer, passed away yesterday at the age of 90. He was truly one of the greatest people I’ve ever known. I am lucky to have had him in my life for so long. He was always smiling, happy, and optimistic. It was a pleasure and an honor to have him attend the premiere of Zombieland only a few weeks ago, where my whole family was together to celebrate the film as well as my brother’s engagement.
Jack was incredibly full of life, and always had a song in his heart. Every year for the last three years, he recorded an album, and the attached video is a short documentary my brother made about the making of the first one. If you want to hear more of Jack’s music, check out two of his albums and some articles about him here.
