To Jack's family my sincere condolences. I worked under Jack when he was Chief of East Greenbush Police Department. He was instrumental in bringing the department from its early beginnings to the stellar police department it is today. He was a " cops cop". I considered him a friend as well as my Chief! Rest peacefully Jack.
