Gail,

The year has passed too quickly. Please know that you, Jack and the family remain in my thoughts and prayers.


Gail,

I can't find the words to adequately describe my sadness at Jacks passing. Your entire family played such a significant role in my life, a role I was always appreciative of. My chats with Jack always made me smile and marvel at his huge heart and gentle demeanor. May you find solace in the wonderful life he lived and the joyous memories that remain

Dear Percoco family.
I worked with Jack when I started at WBZ-TV in 1976 when he was a news film editor, and then again when he returned to 1170 Soldiers Field Rd as a staff member for channel 38. I remember him as a warm and funny man who always had a kind word for me.
My deepest condolences.

To Our Nephews.....

John and Eric,

Our hearts are broken for you in the passing of your father. Please accept our very deepest sympathy.

Always remember what a great father he was. When you were born, we remember him telling us that for the next twenty years his life was now focused on you both. A very selfless thing to say as a young parent. Today, as parents yourselves, you now know that very special love and bond between a parent and child.

We always thought your father should have been a teacher. He had a gift when telling a story or perhaps explaining something in detail. He made everything interesting, even when discussing a tool and what it could do. We always said he must have been in his element working at Home Depot.

Your father will not be far from you. He will be with you daily. Cherish all the small things you shared with him as you will now see they will become the big things.

All our love,
Aunt Bev and Uncle Chuck

To My Sister...

Gail,

Please know how greatly saddened we are to hear of Jack's passing. We want you to know how much we care and please accept our deepest sympathy.

Although many years ago, we so enjoyed our visits with so much laughter. Jack was a great storyteller and we will always cherish those memories.

Jack's life has not ended; it has only changed. May his passing be one of much love and peace and your journey through your loss be one of much strength gathered from your love and cherished memories.

We will keep you and your family in our prayers during this difficult time.
