To Ruthie and family

Over here in England we have been thinking about you all and the last trip you made with Jack over here and how we enjoyed being with you.

They say you come into this world with nothing and take nothing with you - but Jack left a little piece of himself with us in England.

Thoughts and prayers with you all.

Aunt Ruthie ~ Very sad about the passing of Uncle Jack. I am glad that I was able to join you for the services. He brought a smile to everyone...and I will always remember him for buying me Whoopie Pies and chocolate milk for breakfast. God Bless and comfort you during this difficult time!

Love, JulieAnn

Of all, the cousins of Jim's, we were the closet with the 2 of you. Looking forward to seeing you next month.

We are both so very sorry to have lost such a good friend. Jack, Ruthie & family were such close neighbors for 17 years since our old Beacon St Lowell days of the 1970's. Jack, we will miss you & your wonderful humor. God bless you & watch over my friend Ruthie for me. God Bless you all through your sorrow.

To Mrs. Culpon, We are deeply saddened for loosing such a wonderful person. I cannot believe I will not see him at mom's in Maine sharing lobster with her. I never got the chance to thank him for his shoulder at dad's wake. The best friend's are together again.... He will be deeply, deeply missed.

I met John at Shawsheen Valley Technical School and we became fast friends. Although we were close in age he treated me like a little sister. His generosity of self and sharing of his beloved Ruthie with me will last me forever. I was blessed to have been with both of them on April 30, 2006 when they visited Florida. Since reading of his untimely demise I have thanked God repeatedly for pushing me (I had been ill) and giving me the strength to visit with them the day before they left to go home to Maine. I have photos of that day with all of us and will treasure them forever. My prayers will be asking John for his help in comforting his precious Ruthie until they are together again.
