Dear Durkin Family; My deepest condolences on Jack's passing. I grew up in Pawtucket with Jack, Jimmy and Marty, and I can still see that strapping blonde lifeguard at Sand Hill Cove and I can't believe all those years have passed. I attended the championship game in which Pawt. West won the state title in 1949 and will always remember what a great game Jack played. Now the 3 Durkin boys I'm sure will form another great team in heaven. A great admirer of the Durkins.
