Dear Sharon & Family,

We met Jack about six years ago, and we all became fast friends.
We shared many good meals and the best wine with you and Jack, and we had a lot of good times and laughs together!

And through those years, Jack taught us how to make wine. His patience, generosity, and kindness helped us to make wine almost as good as Jack's. His wine will definitely live on. Jack will be missed deeply, especially this time of year when the "grapes are in".

We will cherish all the memories with you and Jack, and wish we could have known him longer. He was the best friend to have.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will be in touch.

Love, Henry & Claire Rose

Dear Sharon and Family,
Although there are no words of sympathy I can truly express, it is my hope that you will know that I care and that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sharon, you have lost your beloved Jack. He fought as hard as he could to stay here with you and adored you even more for the loving care and support that you gave him these difficult past months.
May you find comfort in your fond memories and those shared by those who care. It warmed my heart to read what memories others had written in the guest book, how Jack had touched their heart and lives.
Carissa, know that your grandfather had your picture close by so that he could always look at you, which brought a smile to his face.
Peace Be With You All-

Dearest Sharon and Family:

When we bought our little Jamestown home 3 years ago, the thing we loved the most was maintaining a relationship with Jack and yourself. We always tell our Jersey friends that our home came with 2 wonderful people! We love the house more because of you both and will treasure the memory of Jack each day we spend there. Please, please, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

I did not know Jack very well. However, I used to take my late mother to mass each day at St. Mark Church, Jamestown. I learned that the man who always sat in the 2nd pew each morning attending daily mass was Jack DiSandro. I'm sure Jack is in GOOD hands now! My condolences to the family. I will have a mass said for Jack at St. Mark Church soon.

Sincere sympathy to the DiSandro and Carcieri family with the passing of John.

I believe few, other than his family, would know that Jackie played Sax around and during the time of our high school years. He was a close friend of mine all those years ago.

God bless and keep you, Sharon.
It's incredibly difficult to accept these losses that we must all, eventually, endure.

May God Bless you Sharon in these hard times and know that your husband truly cherished you. My sister and myself knew Jack and yourself from when he worked with us at Amgen.
