Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Jack was a kind and caring soul. He always had a smile and a kind word to offer when I would see him at church on Sundays. He was the person who was always willing to offer a hand with whatever needed to be done. I will miss his calm and steady presence, and I send my condolences to his family on their tremendous loss.

Lori, Jennie and Sean
May God help comfort your souls ...and the peace of God that transcends all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus...We are sorry for your loss and know are prayers and love are with you!

Lori,Jennifer, Sean and family. So Sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. Elaine Polson

Lori- we were so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. We met you briefly when your daughter, Jennifer was a little girl. John and I spent a number of fun outings at the shore and once while living out on Long Island, with Jack and another friend. We remember him fondly, his zest for life, his funny laugh, and his friendliness. He was a warm guy to get to know. Condolences to you and your family- fondly, John and Colleen Kaplan.

Very sorry for your loss. Wonderful man, great family. Our sincere sympathy.

Lori, Jenny and Sean So sorry for your loss. You’re are in my thoughts and prayers.
