He was my favorite uncle. I always told him he was my "Roy Rogers". He is with God and his loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with Maragaret, Robert and John. I wish I knew them better.

I know how hard saying "goodbye" to Dad was for Margaret, but love is everlasting and the good memories will be forever.

I think that Jack was a happy man and will want good cheer for all as his legacy.

Remember the good times.

Oh yes!! I will miss Uncle Jack. He always had a smile on his face & greeted me with a "Hi Kiddo" & a big hug.
I sure enjoyed our visits when you where up here in New York for the family reunions etc.

I am sorry for his childrens loss.
As with all of his brothers & sisters he was woven in my life & gave me so many happy memories. Rest In Peace Uncle Jack. I know you all are having a great poker game & party up in heaven:>)

My deepest sympathy to Margaret, Robert and John. I got to know Uncle Jack over these past 9 years through Aunt Ruth. On Saturdays we never left Aunt Ruth's apartment without first talking to Uncle Jack. I will miss those calls because Uncle Jack was always so friendly and thoughtful and he even remembered to ask how my children were doing. He was a good brother to his sisters and his thoughtfulness was such a good example of what family should mean.

I'll always have fond memories of my Uncle Jack. He had many friends here in the Buffalo area. Everyone liked him immediately. He never had a harsh word to say about anyone. He worked for Westinghouse here in Cheektowaga NY for many years and tended bar at the VFW Post in Cheektowaga on weekends. His sisters, Ruth and Helen went there many times with their husbands and always had a good time with Uncle Jack. I'll miss his big smile and his greeting, "Hi, Junie!"

I met my Great Uncle Jack for the first time in 2007 at the Family Reunion. Unfortunately, it was the last time I saw him as well. I know that he is in a better place. Our prayers are with him and the family.
