I met Jack in 1974 being detailed from 2 Tk to 28 Eng. I got to know he and Judy over the years. My heart goes out to Judy. They were together for many years. He was a great guy and a great Fireman. I am happy that he had such a long and active run. God Bless Jack. Rest in peace Brother Steve O'Neill

I met Jack March 18th 1968 at the drill tower. I knew instantly he was going to be a great friend for the rest of our lives. So many laughs and stories. Our careers in the SFFD crossed paths many times. North Beach became our second homes. Jack at 28 E and myself at 2 T. Luckily Lenny Venturi and myself spent a day with Jack and Judy a few months ago. More laughs and stories. RIP Jack. You are the best, and I hope we meet somewhere on the other side. Tom Lovely

I worked with Jack at Sta. 28 in the early 70's and would run into him almost every year at the Lake Tahoe Woody Boat Show where he proudly displayed a beautifully restored '39 Chris Craft "Annabelle" which seemed to win in it's class almost every year. Always a pleasure to run into him & reminisce on times & people past.

Jack was the nicest person I have ever known. Met him in the 70´s. His wife Judy is one of my oldest friends. We used to go to her moms house at Christmas-Annabelle Graff -and I remember how fun Jack was. Laughs all the time when he was around! Also went to their home in Clear Lake a few times. May he rest in peace. Love, Gretchen and Ken
