I got to know Jack when he played golf at Forest Hills. I wish I had got to know him better. Jack was a patriot, a giver, a good man.

Really regret to see Jack leave us on this world. We golfed and served as committee members for many years at local Augusta courses. He taught me so much when I first joined the senior groups. Although a Catholic, he visited our Baptist church spaghetti dinner with his wife! I was blessed to associate with this other Vietnam War veteran and large force commander.

Jack was my dad's, Edwin Leone, cousin.

I have fond childhood memories of Aunt Jenny and Uncle John's family. Dad loved you all very much.

God bless and comfort you now and always.

I played golf with Jack as a member of the Forrest Hills seniors. He was a real gentleman.

Jack was a great friend - knew him while working at MCG and he was responsible for getting me to join the Forest Hills Golf group and the Clembake Golf Group. He also made sure I got tickets to the yearly spaghetti dinners.

He will be missed, but always remembered.

I worked with Jack years ago when AU was MCG, and frequently saw him at the Saturday Market at the River. I always enjoyed my interaction with him. He was a lively fellow, and I know he will be missed.
