An Arizona Republic newspaper article written by Kathleen Ingley on July 28, 2013 featured Mr. Pfister, "His suit was business basic. His glasses were standard black. His smile was genial. Jack Pfister looked unassuming, more like an affable favorite uncle than a high-profile executive. But few Arizonans have had as much power and influence for as many years."

Kathleen Ingley, a former editorial writer at The Republic, is writing a biography of Jack Pfister. For more information about Jack and to share memories, go to jackpfister.com.
