Jack Edward Swicker Jr.

I was a student at Berkshire at the same time as Jack. My fondest (and maybe scariest) memory was of getting a ride to an ice skating party at Richmond Pond on Dec. 15, 1962. We came over Lenox Mountain Road and I was in the back seat. It was icy and I think I prayed the entire way as Jack was an aggressive driver to say the least! However, that was the night I met my future husband, Jim Blair, an engineer at GE in Pittsfield. We've been married for 50 wonderful years so I guess we can...

Dear Family of Jack, We knew Jack as "Just Jack" but he was more than just another Jack. He shared his faith with all he met, and prayed for us at the drop of a hat. I was one of the first to meet him when he came to work at Walmart in Raymond. Back around the turn of the century, 1999 I think it was. I was on the screening committee that interviewed Jack. He shared his faith with us then and has always encouraged us to put our faith and trust in the Lord. We miss him and want to offer our...

To Shirley and family, We all go back many years- Shirley, my recollection of you as my Charge Nurse at Lakewood in the 80's was that of a strong, and amazing caregiver to our staff and residents. We were 'safe' under your watch. Thank you all for the treasure of being part of your lives. Rest well Jack, you have a wonderful legacy back here on earth. With love, Donna, Ashley and Erica

All Peggy and I can say is what a pleasure it has been to know Jack. Over the years I have known Jack, just in the men's group alone he taught us all so much. He will be sorely missed. We surely will meet again.

Jack was a wonderful man, I had the honors in spending a few months with him and I enjoyed the time I had with him. He always had a smile on his face and he always told the best jokes, which made a hard day turn into a good day. I'd like to thank him for the memories as well as to his family. You will be missed by many but you will never be forgotten as you made an impact. My prayers goes out the family.

Dad, You were the greatest. Saying 'thank you' isn't enough, so: Enter into the Hall of Your Fathers within whose company you are welcomed and not ashamed. Please greet our other family members who have gone before us and save me a seat at the banquet table. Thank you for all the 'one liners you've told all these years, I'll keep it going.I will consider the faith to be joyful and continue 'til I meet you again.
Number 1 son, David.
