John Berkley

Jack was warm, empathetic, and supportive.

It has been said that people will not remember what someone did for them as much as how that person made you feel. Jack made me feel respected, and appreciated.

My condolences to everyone who loved Jack Berkley.

Like so many of my friends, I will always treasure my time with Jack. A good person with a wonderful attitude, his unbridled curiosity always inspired me. Unfortunately , I was not aware his health had turned for the worse and I did not see him to say goodbye.....I'll always have a place in my heart for you old friend, great love and peace to you and yours.

Jack Berkley was not only a smart business man, he was loving and he was funny and he cared. In the eight years I have worked for Jack, he showed nothing less than full encouragement, commitment, and kindness toward me and my co-agents at Berkley Veller. We were treated as family. Jack had a wonderful sense of humor and great personal style. He adored my previous dog, Austin and my current dog, Hershi and welcomed them to the office at all times. We shared a love of sweets- cookies and...

Jack and I had many adventures together, starting when our combined ages were over 130 years. Among many others,these included canoeing the Connecticut River from Canada to Long Island Sound and sailing Lake Champlain from Canada to Whitehall. Most were fun, some were most arduous, one was a disaster. Throughout, Jack always maintained good spirits, a cool demeanor (once despite a fast-approaching, life threatening, rocky lee shore), and never lost his temper at my bad judgment.

Jack...

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
