Michelle, Samantha, Sierra, Jonathan and Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss and so shocked and saddened to learn of my cousin's passing. I will miss our conversations catching up about his family and how proud he was. I had the utmost respect for my cousin Jack, and he was always there at a moment's notice to help with anything the family needed.

My Dad would tell me, with pride in his eyes, how Cousin Jack helped fit the pipe for the wood stove in the garage. As the years went by, Dad had more stories of Cousin Jacks heating and air conditioning adventures. I hope I thanked you enough, Cousin Jack. With love and respect, Patrick and Lisa.

My heart goes out to Michelle, Samantha, Sierra and Jon. Jack was so proud of his family as well he should be. I will miss our many dinners on the patio and the great conversations on the beach. I'm sorry he didn't get to see the Bills win the Superbowl.

One of Jack's favorite sayings was "best you ever had" usually in reference to Pizza, fish fry, or any other of his favorite foods. Sometimes it was the best I ever had and sometimes it wasn't......but Jack Bennett was the best you ever could have as a friend for sure. Miss you Jack.

I was saddened to hear of Jacks passing. I am an employee at Hamburg Gaming and so many of us always liked to stop by and chat with him when he came in. May you all find comfort in one another. God Bless you all.
