I have known Jack for many, many years. I called myself his "adopted Italian" daughter. He had the best smile and the best personality! The O'Connor/Boettger family was so blessed to have him as their beloved dad. Although our hearts are broken, Jack is at peace and is the best guardian angel anyone could ask for! I will miss you, "Just" Jack! Love you! RIP - Hello!!!!
