Not sure what to say?

Jack was truly a great guy - - I'm certain his family misses him dearly, as he was such a caring person. We grew up together on Wirt Avenue and I distinctly remember how athletic he was. I felt that if he hadn't had that accident damaging his hand, that he would have definitely have had some kind of higher athletic offer after going through high school. He, his brother Jim, Joe Canavan, and several others were all good buddies while growing up.

Uncle Jack may your smile be bright, Patty Ann is within your sight. Hope you are both dancing into the night. Your family will find peace, no more pain for you. You were a wonderful man and loved by many. God Bless you all.

Love & miss you grandpa!

My condolences to you Lorraine and the whole Marx family. I have always had the fondest memories of my time with your family. Jack was the most kindest gentle soul, his family was his life. May god carry you through this most difficult time and give you strength. God saw him suffer way to long and took him home. God bless you and the Marx family. RIP Jack

Please accept my condolences and sympathy to Jack's family. He was a good and nice person, who I remember from (even) grade and high school days. I remember fondly the times he, his brother Jim, and I had growing up on Wirt Avenue. Not only was he a wonderful person, but also a great athlete with such natural abilities. He will be missed.
