To Jack's family,

My deepest sympathy goes out to you all during this time. Not only was I your neighbor for many years, I loved working with your mom at Star Market...and most recently, I've been sending your dad "Thank you" letters because of his ongoing generosity to Crossroads Rhode Island (a homeless organization) where I work. I hope your cherished memories of your dad sustain you.
