"Jack Benny brought joy and laughter not only to us but to millions of other Americans."
"Jack's service to his country, his charitable works, and his genuine enjoyment of the humor of others are accolades that he wore with modesty, grace and charm."
"If laughter is the music of the soul, Jack and his violin and his good humor have made life better for all men."
"You deserve the heartfelt thanks of your fellow citizens."
