Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your father. I am sorry that we could not be there for you as we were out of town. John was a wonderful man, and he loved his family and city.

To the Garlock family,
Let me first extend my deep sympathy on the passing of your Dad. My memories of Jack go way back to Union St. I can still see him playing ball with us in the street even though he was a few years older than us. He never forgot me over the years and when we met, he would always reminice about those days. Jack was a class guy and a great friend. God bless him and may he forever rest in peace.
