I just learned of Jack's death from a mutual
friend. My condolences to his family. We
worked together on the Webster-Spinney
prosecution in 1981. A fine investigator and a nice man. God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a class guy and one of the best. As a US Marshal, I spent a fair amount of time with Jack in the
US Attorney's Office and the OC Strike
Force on floor 19 in the old McCormack
Courthouse. (circa 1979-1984).
We often met in the dark and early hours getting coffee and most likely gas at the old Sagamore Rotary.
My brother Tom also got to know Jack from their time at Ropes & Gray.and feels as I do.
As I mentioned, he was a CLASS guy;
and I regret not being ABLE to make it the Services in his memory.

Jack was such an amazing man and we have so many memories to keep in our hearts - he will never ever be fogotten. He was sincere to the core with his love of family and friends. The world lost an amazing man but a wonderful legacy remains. We are all better people for having had him in our lives. Rest in peace, Jack and thank you for welcoming us so warmly into your heart.

Dot,

I was very surprised and saddened to learn of Jack's passing.

It seems like only yesterday I shared good times working with you and he was waiting for you outside of the 100 Cambridge, the motor running for a quick get away.

My deepest sympathy to you and the family.

We definitely need to get get a coffee now.

Jack was a wonderful man, with a great family and a full life. I got to know and respect him when I first met him as a new agent in Boston. His guidance and advice to me was always helpful over the years. I kept up with him thru his best friend Richard Shea. I am very proud to call him a friend.

A warm hugger, a gifted story teller, a practical advisor, a family man who opened his home to extended family and friends...Uncle Jack was an instant connection to my father, who I missed both more and less in his presence. He always made me, my children and my husband feel so welcomed and loved. I miss him already. He was so good to all of us. All my love to Aunt Dottie, Joan, John and Kelly.
