Jack was a dear neighbor and our family is very saddened by his loss. Jack had a wonderful sense of humor and could always make you smile. I teach school and love my summer vacations. Jack told me one year he wanted to post signs in the neighborhood that said "ha ha, Dawn has to go back to work" but that Kay wouldn't let him. I smile every time I think of that story. It's very sad to look across the street and know that he is gone. Timmy misses him very much too! I will forever have fond memories of Jack. My thoughts are with his family.

I was very sad to here of Jack's passing. My husband and I have many fond memories of Jack when we visited the Cape. I remember the first day I met him 20+ years ago when he was new to the neighborhood and so were my parents it seems like yesterday. He was joking then and he has always made me laugh. He had a good heart and I will miss him.

I am very sadden by the loss of my neighbor and friend. Jack was a good man and I will miss him with all my heart. He was always there for you with a smile and could make you laugh with his stories. When times were tough he was there for me with kindness & support. May God bless him and his family.

Jack was a first cousin that I have not seen for too many years. He wrote me a very thoughtful letter when my dad, who was his godfather, passed away four years ago. Here was a cousin that I had not seen in fifty years, yet he took the time to tell me how much he appreciated my dad. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
