Not sure what to say?

I think of Jack often and treasure the friendship we had.

I think of Jack often and the many chatty lunches we had with Mary Smith after we all retired. Both my dear friends are gone however I still remember them vividly so they are never far away. Jack will always be in my heart.

Jack was such a wonderful, kind man. A true gentleman and and good friend. I think of him often and send a prayer each time he enters my thoughts.

My deepest sympathy to Mr. O'Gradys family. A wonderful man, teacher and an asset to every life he touched. Thank you Mr.O'Grady. ST.Pats Academy,Andrea L.(Kerbert) Robinson. attended '56,'57.

A very special man in so many ways. Jack, you had a heart of gold and I will always remember the St Pats basketball team that you gave so much time to.

Jack was my HS coach at St Patrick's Academy. He was a kind and gentle man and drive me to college for a visit. He will be remembered.

Mr. O'Grady was my high school Principal at C-A. I remember him fondly as a kind and fair man. He touched many lives, especially those of his students, and we were better for it. My sympathies to his family.

I cannot express the loss I feel at Jack's passing. We have been friends since my coming to C-A in 1984 and had stayed in touch since his and my retirement. I think the phrase "quiet dignity" so describes Jack. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. I regret I cannot pay my love and respect for him in person, just know that Dee in Tennessee feels your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Jacks passing. I enjoyed his company over the years, especially when we refereed BB games together. Fred Chetti
