Not sure what to say?

Clarke Family
My deepest sympathy to you all.
I've know Jack for About 70 years now. I hung around with his little brother Jim and Jack accepted me as just another one of the gang, though probably a pest.
I've met Jack many times since our childhood days and always looked forward to his Chicago stories. He truly was Chicago's ambassador and will be missed by all. I know I will miss him.

Dear Rosie: I just read about Jack's passing while on vacation in Canada. I'm sorry I didn't know the rest of his wonderful family. I last saw Jack not in person, but in the DVD version of the movie on the turncoat FBI agent. He naturally had a story or two about his experience with this fellow when he was with the Chicago Police Department. May he rest in peace.

Clarke Family,
For the short time I was blessed in knowing your father, he made a huge impact on my life in helping me with my career. Thankfully, when I met him again a few months ago, I was able to thank him for his generosity. You have all shown a tribute to him (and your mom) in their raising such fine children.
Slainte, to you all. God bless!

Colleen, Danny, Duke and the whole family... Mr.Clarke was a Red-I through and through !!! I will always have fond memories of seeing him in his lawn chair givin' em hell... he's reaquainting himself with Joey Dwyer as we speak! God Bless all of you ... our deepest sympathy.

To the Clarke Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved father and grandfather. May your memories of him bring you comfort.

I find it difficult to talk about Jack Clarke. As your father, I know he loved you more than anything in this world,even Ice Cream. He always told me of your amusing pranks and some of your antics, and he always recalled these stories with a smile on his face. Jack was more than a father to you. He was also your best friend. How he loved to hear about your triumphs, and was just as pleased to be able to lend a kind ear to some of your challenges as well. You will...
