Jack, there is not a day that goes by i don't think of you and all you have done for me in my life. When I am struggling in my life I ask to myself what would you say to me. I miss you very much.

My dear brother, as I went through the day yesterday, after stopping and seeing you, after asking you again what you wanted to tell me. I now know what it was you wanted to say. It was in front of me all the time. Every time I heard the song that brought tears to my eyes. Now I know, "Live like you were dieing", Tim McGraw. It all makes sense to me as I would have sat there with you and one of the first questions on my mind would have been. "How did it hit you when you get that kind of news." I would have wanted to know. So in your memory I will do just that. I have missed you as everyone has, but I will never let that bond we have go. I hear you everyday. Soon I will head to Az. and I know you'll be out there for a vacation, you know your always welcome in my home. Enjoy the Tequila Rose, I did... Be cool, I will see you again someday. Peace my old friend, Peace

I was thinking about you on your Birthday, and the only thing that keeps me sane is remembering how you used to sing "Today it's my Birthday im gonna have a good time", hope you have the best birthday ever. John and I went to see you and my god it was so hard. You would have been so proud of our son. I miss you so much I'm having such a hard time coping with all this. Love you and miss you with all my heart.
Your son John

For My Son John
This has to be the hardest thing we have ever gone though, but my little man will get through this some how. All we have to do is stay strong and remember we still have each other. We both loved your Dad very much and that will never change. We will always remember the good time the three of us had together nobody can take that away. I will do my best to keep our love for him in our hearts every day. Jack just remember we love you and always will I'll keep our son strong and make sure he never forgets the knowledge and wisdom you taught him in the 8 years we had you in our lives.

It's been a week since I heard the news of Jacks death and I still feel like I'm in a state of shock.I always thought of Jack as being invincible. He was such a major influence in my life;he was a friend and a confidant. he was generouse with his time and knowledge. I remember conversations lasting for hours. Talking about business and life. He supported me through some of my darkest days...the loss of my father and brother. He trusted me to be his right hand man for years at the bar. He was one of the most educated men I knew....maybe not book smart but his business skills were outstanding. He had a sense of humor...I know why he called me "stoney". Our relationship was such that we could fight over stupid things and still care about each other. Jack was so proud to be a father. He always talked about JW with such pride. He had very strong opinions on how to raise a child. I am going to miss Jack so much, but I have to believe he's partying with RJ and the angels.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family, JW and Lynn.

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this extremely difficult time. Although I had not seen Jack for many years, the memories of the great times and wonderful talks that we shared will live on forever. Even though Jack was not with us nearly as long as we would have liked, while he was here he was able to touch many lives in a way that very few people can. His warmth and his smile will never be forgotten. We will all miss you dearly.

My heart goes out to you Lynn and little John. May God along with your family and friends give you both the strength to make this most difficult time a time in which you can go back and share only the happiest times you spent together!
Dearest Jack,
Although we have only spoken by phone the past 10 or so years, you have become a dear friend through my dearest friend Lynn of 33 years. I remember our 3 way conversations and how funny they would end up. You will be missed by many, but will live on by many more. You are at peace now.

Dear Jack
It was a pleasure and a honor to spend many years with you. You where a major impact in my life. I will turely be in your debt for everything you have done for my mother and I. For the most part you where almost a father to me when I didn't have one. I know you will be watching down on all of us. Thank you again for everything you will always have a place in my heart.

My dear friend and brother there is not enough space on the internet for me to say what I have been feeling the last 24 hours. When I found out you passed my heart suffered a severe rip that will never mend. Dude we had some incredible times together California, Ohio, the Super Bowl in 82 just for starters. You and I could be in a bar which we did a lot, be on opposite sides of the bar and carry on a mental conversation with each other. We knew what each other was thinking and that alone was special. So I know you know what I am thinking and feeling as I write this. It hurts, it hurts a lot. We were a bunch of guys who grew up without fathers, we gained strength in each other from that. You were the top of an awesome triangle of friends. The song "My old friend" by Tim McGraw pretty much sums it up.
To young John, Although you were young when we met you probably do not remember me and thats ok. I just want you to know that when your dad called me and told me he was the father of a boy, that day was the proudest, the most exciting, and the happiest day your dad ever had. You will have his angel looking over you everywhere you go. If you ever need anything, you find me. Like I said there is not enough space on here to say what I want to say about your dad.
From my family to yours, we are all deeply saddened over the lost of a great man.
As you look down on us realize we are looking up at you. Stay strong my brother, stay strong.
I Love You,
Barbara and Buddy

I met Jack 2 years ago and had conversations with him the past month about life in general. The one thing that was always said was anything he was doing to survive(the operation and anything he had to do afterwards) was for his son JOHN!! He wanted to live for him. I still remember the look in his eyes when we talked about his diagnosis. When I asked are you going to have the surgery he replied " I have to for my son" His eyes were locked with mine at that moment. I cry thinking about it. After meeting family these past few days I know this man had a perfect love for his son. (remember this john) A love that is unconditional,a love that goes beyond anything. Rest in peace Jack. I will miss you at all the soccer practices and the wrestling practices. Thank you for hugging me that day when you were so scared to get sick. You came back and gave me a hug. I will remember that forever!!.
JOHN: Please when you need a friend call on Christian and Zachary. They will be there for you . We love you very much!!You are such a great friend. We will be praying for you this whole week and there after!!!Love you!!! Christian,Zachary,Sadie and Jaiden
