Jack,
I enjoyed playing with you in the Jefferson Community College Wind Ensemble. Now, you are blowing your horn with Gabriel! Your obituary says you were the caretaker at Calvary Cemetery for several years. Oddly, I'm the assistant gardener there now, mowing the grass around your gravesite. If I here a subtle trumpet tune, I'll know you are visiting me in spirit! God bless you and your family!

Hi Donna & Family:
When I first met Jack he was a Letter Carrier, he was a Man of Faith , he loved his Wife Donna & Family, He and Donna were dedicated parents to the Watertown youth Hockey program.
I worked with Jack for 23 years at the Watertown Post Office. For the first 10 years he was a letter carrier who was loved by his customers, after being a carrier for 10 years he was promoted to my vehicle operations manager, responsible for keeping our fleet of 46 vehicles...

Dona and family, we are sorry to hear about Jack's passing. I (Carl) remembered him from delivering the mail on Cooper Street when me and my family got to Watertown in 1976 and later became our carrier when we moved to Mill Street in 1977. He will be missed by everyone from Sacred Heart being he was involved with the RCIA program and many other programs. God speed to heaven, Jack and may you be welcome by God and his angels and saints. From, Carl Franks and Connie Sullivan.
