Thank you for giving me the pleasure of sharing your Dad's past birthday celebrations at the MIT tennis courts. It was a pleasure to meet him and participate in our mutual love of the game of tennis. He was a fine gentleman who was very proud of you and his family. You all have my sincere sympathy.

My Deepest Sincere Sympathy to the Carrigg Family.I have so many great memories with Jack,playing tennis,he really had me running,walks in the cemetary,he knew everyone,and ice skating,he amazed me, how he could skate without lifting his feet, with his little shuffle back and forth.Jack tried to teach me how to play the piano,but I was all thumbs.I loved to listen to him play,he wanted me to sing,but I can't sing so I would hum.I have so many great memories of Jack,he was my friend and buddy and I'll miss him so much.
All My Love,Dianna
