I would like to send my condolences to the entire Breaux family. I have known Jack throughout my entire shipping career and I want to say that he was the nicest guy in the business. I enjoyed having lunch with him on many occasions. He was always ready to help you with any problem you might have. He was always a true professional and gentleman and will be extremely missed by everyone who knew him.

I will keep the entire family in my prayers. Rest in peace Jack.

Juli and I are deeply sorry for your loss. My dad is also 92 so every extra day is a blessing. I did not know Mr. Jack but from his obituary he sounds like a fine gentleman. I now know why Daryl has turned out so great. There is no better tribute to a father than a great son so by that standard he has lived a full and fruitful life. Our prayers are with your entire family. Sincerely. Stew and Juli Juneau

Jack was a close friend of my first husband, Tony Giangrosso, my name is Agnes. I cherish the good times we shared with Mary and Jack, and remember what a good dancer he was. Mary, we both had two sweet loving husbands, and you know they are in heaven together.
I met my second husband, Donald Haag, in 2003 through the singles group at St. Clement of Rome, and we married Nov 10, 2007. He is also a sweet, loving man, and excellent dancer too. I am blessed twice and wish all the best for you too.
Love and comfort to you and your family - Agnes & Donald Haag.

'Mr. Jack' was one of the first acquaintances I made in the shipping business, and Donna and I became friends with him and Mary over the years.

Jack was a true gentleman, and the embodiment of integrity, hard-work, and living a faith-based life, both professionally and personally.

He was one-of-a-kind, and will be deeply missed.
