My father, Louis Jannetta and Jack were friends for many years. On Sunday mornings Jack would come to George Bell Arena to watch my fathers hockey league, and say hello to many of his friends. I loved listening to his many stories with his fabulous sense of humor. Our sympathy and condolences to Jack's family .
