Dear Doris and family,

I didn't know Jack but my Dad, Larry Kaplan, thought incredibly highly of Jack and is terribly saddened at the loss of his dear friend. I am so very sorry about Jack's passing and I wish you all well as you care for each other and navigate this new time of grief. Dad told me that Jack was a man with whom he felt most at ease. The connection was very strong. Dad reminded me that he and Jack go back to BU Journalism days. I am grateful that you and Jack...

Dear Mrs. Craig and family, I am a neighbor and friend of Alice Bunnell and her family. I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your husband and father. You will be in my thoughts and prayers through this sad time.

To Carol,
Sorry to here about your dad. I remember the time he spoke to our class at FSC, and two or three times you took us to The Globe and he was nice enough to give use the "nickle" tour. I remember him fondly.

My condolences to the entire Craig family. My father Ray and Jack were great friends while at the Globe and Jack was a source of great help for my family when my father was ill. He was a terrific man and I really enjoyed his TV/Radio column. He will be missed.

Dear Doris
I was shocked to hear of the sudden death of your husband Jack and want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you are surrounded by family and friends to help you cope with your loss and if you do come back to Countryside next winter I hope you will contribute to our book discussions again.

Doris, I have golfed with you at Lost Brook, I was so sorry to read of your husbands passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

John - I am sorry to hear about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Earl Metzler

To Jack's Family:
It was an honor to carry on Jack's work with the SporTView column. Truth be told, though, he could be imitated but never duplicated.
Reading that he was trying to increase his golfing outings from two days a week to three was another reason to admire him.
Over the years I had the pleasure of editing his copy, making the late-night calls to the Craig home when stories broke, and finally continuing the column.

Doris,
I know you through the early bird golfers at Lost Brook. I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
