This caught me totally off guard. I am both saddened and sickened by the thought of my buddy John Heslin being gone. Jack was a great teammate of mine at B-R playing baseball. His smile will remain in my memories. I have not seen Jack in over 5 years or so and only vaguely remember being told he was battling cancer the past few years. Goodbye my friend, the suffering is over. May you rest in peace upstairs. God bless your family. I am really sorry I can't get home for the celebration of life or the funeral as I am half way across the world living and working in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates for a few years. I will be there in spirit and my prayers are with your family my friend. I am grateful for having known and competed alongside you. Rest in Peace buddy.

Deeply sorry for your family's loss. I have many good memories of Jack and growing up next door to you. He shared his love of sports with us. The whole neighborhood would get together often for a game of baseball or hockey... etc one memory that stands out is there were only enough hockey sticks for the boys. The girls had to used brooms and shovels and whatever we could find. Thank you for all the fun!!! RIP Jack
Thinking of you all xo
