John "Jack" Cloherty Jr.

I knew John when he played baseball in the Astros organization, especially in Cocoa for the '77 season. I was the "clubbie" that year and John was my favorite player. He was always quick with a joke and kept me laughing. He made that season a memorable one for me. The following spring John borrowed my 1970 Chevelle SS many times after the spring workouts to get his shopping and personal things done; he was the only player I trusted with my "baby". I missed not seeing him in future...

Tricia and Bob, I have so many memories of Jackie from growing up. The one that always stands out is the Blizzard of '78. Tricia, you and I truging through the snow trying to get to Appleton Terrace and all of a sudden this huge snowman walking towards us. He swooped us both up and practically carried us the rest of the way. Where he deposited us in your mom's care and a hot bath.
I am sorry I couldn't be there to say good bye to Jackie. May he rest in peace. Love Maureen

Janice & Family
I was very saddened to hear of the loss of John. I was in Georgia when I found out and was so sorry I could not make it. I have such fond memories from High School and in recent years...he was a great guy! Stay strong.

Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear about Jacks passing. My heart and prayers go out to all that loved him. When I think about Jack I am going to remember the big heart that he had and not the heart that failed him last week. I am going to remember the cousin I never knew until about 12 who took me under his wing and became the big brother I never had when I needed one the most.

When Jack got released from the Astros he asked his coach if he could wait two weeks to release...

Janice,
My memories go back many years to our St. Patrick school days with Jackie, where he was the all star all sports everything guy. I am so thankful that we reconnected in the past few years. While our lives took different paths, I knew I could call him any time and it would be as if we spoke daily.
I am greatful that we had the night at your house when he cooked such an awesome dinner and the 3 of us talked for hours.
After that night, it was very clear that Jackie loved you...

Janice- I am truly sorry for your loss. I called on Fri and left a message with Gail, I did not believe it. I am very upset I was unable to attend I have no car and just found the arangements today, and honestly dont know how I would have held up. I know we have our differences but if u need anything at all or just need to talk u call me. I had alot of memorable times with Jack as well as yourself he was a great person and awesome friend! Your a strong person and Jack will always be looking...

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you all deal with the loss of John. My memories of John are from St. Pat's as my classmate and friend. His outstanding personality, football and baseball talents and smile will be my fond memories of him. I am honored to have known him. John will be missed.....he has left behind a wonderful legacy.
