Jeannie, Jack and I worked together at Massport in the seventies. Some of my fondest memories date back to those days and the fun times we all had. I considered Jean a close friend and confident at that time. Even at a young age Jeannie had already experienced devastating loss but this never changed how she treated others. She was a kind and caring person, always. I´m so sorry for Jack and Michael that she is gone. I am so very, very sad.
