I had the distinct honor of working with Jack over the past 7 years during trips for technical support at the Red Sox. His dedication, honesty, and positive outlook on a day to day basis made it a privilege to work with him. Moreover, Jack was more than just a business colleague, I consider him a good friend. I will sorely miss our late night conversations after a game night at Fenway Park. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jack and Jessica, as well as both the Lanzillotti and Campbell families during their time of grief.

I did not know your son but would like to express my condolences to the family of such an outstanding young man. God's plan is such a mystery, and at times so painful, especially when we lose someone so young and important to us. Our why's never are answered to our satisfaction. May the Lord of all comfort you in your heartbreaking and irreplaceable loss.
