The officer's and member's of Florida West Post No. 2 send our most sincere sympathy to you and your family.

My memories of Jack go way back to my childhood. A man of great stature, who commanded the respect of all, not just for his size and the uniform he often wore, but because of all he believed in and all he stood for.

Always giving, always caring, always fair, always loving. His passing has left a hole in this town too big to be filled by any one person.

He will live on in our memories, yet his presence forever missed.
Our condolences to his entire family.

Sincerely,

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time

Dear Paul and Family

I always enjoyed Jack's company. I know how much he was loved and will be missed.
Love, Marie Cormier and Family

Olive, John, Doug, Francis, and families,
As you know, there are no words to express the sorrow of Jack's passing. Hopefully, as the saying goes, “time will heal all pain”. Jack was a great person. He was a strong advocate for the veterans, the elderly, the children, and anyone who needed his help. We will miss seeing him at the monthly K of C spaghetti suppers, the Hardwick Rod & Gun Club dinners, the D of I functions, and the other numerous events that he attended or participated in....
