Always had nice conversations with John while bringing him to his doctor's appointments. He would always end by saying: God love ya!" Bob and Carmen Hay

Served with Jack on the Poppinesset Beach Association. Jack was Treasurer for many years and treated the nearly 600 homeowners with charm, class and as our membership aged with empathy.
Besides the wonderful Popponesset experience, my wife Ellen and I got to spend time with Jack and Pat in Florida! Hale and farewell my friend.

Hi. My name is Bob Hay, and I work at Edelweiss per diem, splitting my time between Florida and West Roxbury. My wife Carmen and I want to offer our sincere sympathy to your special family, and to out friend Jack. I had the pleasure of driving Jack to many of his doctor's appointments and we shared wonderful conversations. I want you to know how much love he had for you all, his family. You were the love of his life, and having his wife, your mom, pass away years earlier, made it even harder for him not to have her around to spend with your family, as I'm sure you know. The good news is that he's with your loving mom, and they are dancing in heaven, no more foot problems for Jack! You can also know I would have attended all services for Jack, but I am down here in Florida and I couldn't make it back. I'll always remember Jack at the end of our conversations, short or long, with saying "God love you." Hearing that always made me feel that he had a strong belief in God, as do I. God bless his new eternal life with his wife, and may "God, love you!"

Heartbroken is how I felt when I heard Jack had passed away. I will miss him So much in the dining room as he was always extremely pleasant & I enjoyed his stories. His presence has left a tremendous void & I will forever miss him! I guess the Good Lord wanted you to be with your beloved wife for Christmas this year. Rest in peace Jack & enjoy your eternal reward in Heaven. Love Eileen & Chris Omalley.
