Bellwether of the U.S. air cargo scene, Jack Lampinski, SWISS WorldCargo, is moving into retirement just as the year wraps, on December 31, 2015.
   Of all the cargo people you might meet, Jack seems the least excitable, most relaxed person on the line.
   He has been casually fronting a sales program in the greatest economy in the world for the most exacting “Swiss-efficient” airline, which now kicks it up a notch as part of the cargo mega force, Lufthansa.
   But if any of that has affected Jack, we cannot tell.
   You see, Jack is what people in the 1940s called a “Mohair Sam.” Like Bing Crosby of yesteryear or Morgan Freeman of today, Jack Lampinski always takes things one step at a time. He’s calm, collected, and ever able to deliver the best result for airline and client.
   How long did he keep that up? We figure for well over 30 years.
   “It will be different,” Jack said, talking about retirement.
   “But SWISS has been wonderful, and they continue to be a great company to work for right down the line.
   “Maybe I’ll have some time to get back to building furniture,” Jack said.
   “Working with my hands has always been a passion,” he added.
   A great spirit, a great man, Jack Lampinski will be sorely missed in this business.
