Jack was a kind, quietly charitable, and unassuming man. I used to enjoy our talks about the Patriots in his kitchen. I hadn't seen him in years but was glad to see him again recently. Rest in peace, Jack.

Jack was a friend, and a mentor to me. I worked side by side with him surveying for many years. He was an outstanding land surveyor and tought me many things about our profession. A smart, kind, simple man that I admired alot. He will deeply be missed and not ever forgotten. My condolences to all Jack's close friends and relatives. Rest in Peace Jack

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Jack. We worked together in surveying in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the years since, it was always a pleasure to run into Jack and catch up on things. He was always ready to offer a smile and a kind word. Now that he has gone to a better place, may his soul rest in peace.

I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Jack's passing. I am grateful to have spent time with him surveying and to have known him as an individual. Jack was a kind person who was committed to helping those less fortunate than himself as proven by his volunteer work at Worcester homeless shelters.
Jack,
Godspeed, my friend, and may you rest in peace.

In remembrance of Jack, I knew him through the years of my surveying career as far back as 1993, he had worked with me and for me. He was honest, caring and hard working. I thought of him often over the last few years that I hadn't heard from him and will miss his presence in the years to come.
Safe journey Jack.
