Not only was Jack a great coach and motivator, but also a kindhearted and caring person. I owe a great deal of my success to Mr. McCloskey and will forever by grateful to him.

Peg - Your husband and I were friends and teammates at Central Catholic. After receiving a call about his passing, I told my wife stories about him and the time we shared for nearly an hour. He was a terrific fellow who will live on in our memories.

Peg, Jack was a great educator, Coach and friend. I worked with him at North Schuylkill. He turned our basketball program into a winner. I was the Ass't. A.D. at the time. May God grant you and your family the love and faith that Jack would want you to have.
