John "Jack" Raffloer

I still think of Jack all the time. He had such an influence over me. His infectious smile, his grace and kindness and true support has carried with me always. I try to share that same influence with my skating students to this day. Jack made a difference in my life and I will be forever grateful

I will always have fond memories of Thankgivings in NYC as a child, with you and Betty, Billie, Ida, "Little Grandma, my Dad Danny, Mom , and Uncle Jimmy. It is sad those times are gone, but how grateful to have crossed paths with such wonderful souls. Of course you take it for granted as a kid and figure that's just the way it is for everyone. How fortunate we are for such a gift.

Jack was one of my first pros at Roll N Ice in Long Island. He was wonderful and amazing and I will always remember him. Just saw this obit, My best to his family and The world lost a very special and talented man!
