John K. Bliss

I spent my young youth days with my uncle. Jack at the Jersey shore beach he was lifeguard there,my best summers

Very close my favorite uncle

When I arrived at Deal School in the middle of the school year, I didnt know a soul. I was very a shy kid. Jack went out of his way to make me feel like I belonged, help me transition to a new place, and begin to feel at home. His kindness meant the world to me then, and now. He took me sailing for the first time, invited me to his home, and made a huge impact on my life. Though I left the area a long time ago, I have thought of Jack and the impact he had on my so often over the years. I feel...

Of all the things I can't remember, I can NEVER forget the sound of Jack's voice. I was six when he played my father in Sound Of Music. I worshiped him ever since. He was warm but kept us "kids" in line in school. Then we grew up and he was a loving buddy. And if you loved Jack, you also loved Pat, his great love. I am forever grateful to have had him in my life during my formative years. He sure was special.

Jack was a special man. A true renaissance man and a gentleman. I worked across the hall from him at Deal,School for 5 years and missed him after I left. I worked with hundreds of teacher during my career in several schools. Jack was one of the finest teachers and someone who made an impact on the lives of every student who passed through his 5th grade classroom. He will be missed.

One of the coolest jack you will be missed my old friend . I will never forget I had the wheel figured out at one of the deal wet downs . I am screaming raise the maximum and jack is saying get that Kenny kid out of here . Love you jack

Mr. Bliss was my 4th and 5th grade teacher! He was a tough teacher,who cared about his students! Have fond memories of Mr. Bliss and Deal School! R.I.P. Jack Bliss

Mr. Bliss was my 6th grade basketball coach, 4th grade Social Studies and Science teacher, and 5th grade Math and Language Arts teacher. Mr. Bliss always pushed his students to be their best. I will never forget him knocking out his student's loose teeth or letting us rip up our last test before the last day of school. I am a teacher now and Mr. Bliss was a true inspiration. Mr. Bliss was a true gentleman, RIP Jack.
