Dear Patty, Anne, Sarah, John, David Efford, and Eddie,
Lorraine and I send our condolences upon hearing of Jack's passing. I always enjoyed visiting the house on High Street in Katonah, one of the features being cousin Jack's droll sense of humor. The photo is perfect as it captures his sense of dash (the bow tie) and stability (the suspenders).He could be our Atticus Finch! Successful, steady and a good man, I know he will be missed by all.
Your Upstate cousin,
Harry McCue

Pat,
It's been so long since I have seen you or your beloved Jack. I remember him so well and this photo is typical of that memory. I offer you my sincerest condolence and extend it to your daughter, Ann. Thinking of you all at this time.

Hello Cassidy Girls,
Just an old Cedarwood Neighbor saying I am sorry for your loss. He and your mom never yelled at me cutting across their yard to my bus stop back in the day and they always paid me extra for cutting their lawn. Classy man. I am sorry, he was nice to me.
Sincerely,
Andy Healy

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
