Jack will be missed by all at Sunrise, but especially by me and my Dad. Dad thought Jack was in his care, and always tried to make sure he had enough to eat and drink. He always enjoyed Jack's smile and laughter. Jack's shining blue eyes left a mark on all of our hearts. I didn't even know for a long while that his last name as Rowley until his daughter-in-law was visiting when I was there with Dad. Little did they know that they had been friends at their former Church in Hingham. I also went to school with Gail. It was nice to see her again. We will keep fond memories of Jack always. I now sit in his seat when I visit Dad, so that it won't remain empty. It is not the same without him. Peace to the family, fondly Cathy

Jay-
I am so sorry to hear about Jack's passing. I was with my dad when he got the news, and it was definitely a sad moment. I have always enjoyed all the memories that my dad shared with me about your Dad. All of you are in my thoughts.

Dear Jay and Judy, What a dear man Mr. Rowley was! I was blessed to have shared in a small part of your Dad's life at the Atrium. I remember his smile and I remember him being such a gentle man.
