It's hard to believe that he is gone. He was a kind and gentle soul that will be missed! I just spoke with him about a week ago about the bruins before the trade deadline. My heart goes out to his family and my mom because I know his passing leaves a void that can't be filled. He was one of a kind and I will end this with what I said to Jack every time I hugged him as I got ready to head back to where-ever I was living at the time: Thanks for being so good to my mom!

I didn't know Jack but every time I was at Mary Ellens, I saw a picture of him with Mary. They looked extremely happy and I know they were. Jack made a difference in Mary's life as well as her family. It is sad to see such a nice guy who meant so much to so many people leave this world. Please accept my deepest and most sincere sympathy to the Vesey family and the Hunnewell family. Mary, I pray with the love of your children you will someday smile again like you smiled in the photo with Jack at MaryEllens. May he rest in peace and may you all find peace in your hearts again. God Bless Jack.

I will miss Jack . It was an honor to have known him, golf with him, and call him my friend. He was a very special gentleman , and will be greatly missed at Cedar Hill by all that knew him. My deepest sympathy to his family, and Mary. God Bless

I will miss Jack. I will miss his dignity and his honesty. I will miss his easy going look at life. Jack was the kind of man we should strive to be.
His eyes would light up when he talked about the summer days around the pool with his family. It seemed a great joy for him.
To his family I pray for your loss.
To Mary I pray for you in this time of emptiness.
We were all blessed to have been touched by Jack and I will miss riding in a golf cart with him. Or watching him drop a 20 foot putt. Or for that matter....missing a 20 foot putt.
