Not sure what to say?

Dear Lorraine. We have just received word of the passing of dear Jack. So very sorry. Our words come from the heart when we say that we are so deepfully sorry for your loss. I, as a young child remember Jack working with my dad Claude at the Thom McCan Store way back in the 50's...then meeting with you and Jack once again at my husband's Class reunion from St. Jos. What a coincedance. Such a nice man. He shall be missed. Thinking of you and we shall always miss Jack. Love from us,...

Lorraine:
Peg and I are so sorry to learn of Jack's passing. I hold the fondest memories of first meeting Jack back in the early 80s and envying his calm and peaceful manner. He was an inspiration to me when I followed in his footsteps as a Program Director in another state and in CRCPD. We both fondly remember our evenings together with the two of you both in Manchester and in Massachusetts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love Peg and Bob Hallisey

Lorraine and Keith:
I am so sorry to hear of Jack's death. During my years at Public health, I learned so much from Jack, especially with regard to Radioligical health. We spent many "fun" hours dealing with the Seabrook Nuclear Plant. It was his hard work that allowed us to get past that era in good standing. Jack and I also shared military experiences and a love for hot sauce. He had a great sense of humor which helped me get through some tough days at Public health.

Dear Lorraine,
I was very sorry to read of John's death on line this morning. As you might remember I went to grammar school with him and we called him John in those days so I never knew he was known as Jack. He was a very brilliant man and a great linguist for which I admired. My sympathy to you and your son Keith and please extend my sympathy to his brother Bob.

My sincere condolences to Lorraine and family. Jack was a steadfast and devoted member, volunteer, and past board member of the American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Manchester. Long after he was finished researching his French lines and Lorraine's lines, he was a rock solid volunteer librarian at the library for many years. His legacy will stay with us forever.

God bless and may you rest in peace, Jack. You fought a valiant fight.

To the Stanton Family,

My deepest sympathy. I met Jack while taking Irish language lessons quite a few years ago. He was so knowledgeable and so generous with that knowledge! Jack was more than a scholar, though. He was a kind and gentle man. Whenever I hear the word "gentleman" I always think of Jack as the epic example of the meaning of that word. Rest in peace, a chara. You will be missed!

Sincere condolences.

It was very sad news to hear that Jack had passed. I like so many of us got to know Jack through his work with the Ancient Order of Hibernians. He taught all of us so many things to say in Gaelic over the years.

I remember for my birthday several years ago, he found a copy of my family crest. I was surprised he actually found it, as the way my family spells the name today was significantly mispelled from it's orginal spelling. It must have taken him a very long time to find it,...
