Not sure what to say?

Couldn't say how many time I went to Jack's garage to look at thee Golden Rod and the Golden Hawk, 1956-1957 he was a legend then among the boys in Atlantic Highhlands and the Highlands who had their DL's or could not wait to get them, all wishing to drive the Golden Rod or get one like it.

Anita and the Lentz Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was one of the most kind and interesting people I know. Ken and I always felt welcome in his home. I will never forget his hospitality on the night of Hurricane Irene when we stayed at his house. The memories of his BBQs and especially the Garage Ping Pong Tournament will forever be with me! Jack even helped my daughter complete a project for college..she was at a total loss of how to get some paint to adhere to her...

One of the comforts God provides when one of our family members passes on, or when we slow down with aging, is the privilege of reliving through our memories.

Thank you, Jack, for so many meaningful ones to ponder.

I think the dress that my daughter Anita wore as Maid of Honor in your wedding to my sister Edith is still hanging in my attic along with mementos of your wedding reception held in our home.

I think of the joy of welcoming your precious gifts of a blue-eyed,...

(5/11/13) One week ago tonight, and many tears since...lost my forever friend, former husband, father of our children ... Kathy and John. Taxiing down the runway towards the beautiful sunsets (that you and John captured in your paintings) and aloft with the sensation of freedom beyond , ... far surpassing the tense moments studying 'theory', ... anticipating 'under the hood', ... your selfless power of dreams, hard work, and accomplishment ... Jack you were a master of time, love, and living....

We will miss you, Uncle Jack, especially your gentle spirit and your ready smile. All the happy times we spent together will remain in our hearts forever and we will always be grateful you were such a special part of our lives. Much love, Snookie and John.

Rest in peace, Cousin Jack.

My deepest sympathy to Anita, David, Kathy and families. Jack was always a bright light in my life and in the lives of my daughters, Dawn and Lora. My fondest early memories included going over to Aunt Thelma and Uncle Johnnie's and to visit Jack's pet skunk. Whem we kids, my brother Ray & I would visit Cousin Jack's body shop during the summer and on weekends would rollerskate in front of the bays. My girls also have great memories of living in the little while house in Belford. Jack was a...

David, we're so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was quite a man and a good looking one at that! His memory lives on. With love, Jan and Fred
