I don't know where I've been to have missed the tragic news of Jack's passing. He and I delivered morning and noonday announcements at Kenmore West---my introduction to "broadcasting." Jack made a career of it, and an exemplary one. His mellifluous voice, that I always envied, will remain in my memory. He will be missed by many.

Once in awhile I´d walk to Kenmore West with Jack. His dad sold my mom´s house in the 60´s. There´s a long history of a friendship with Jack since he still lived a few blocks away.I´ll miss bumping into him and seeing his pictures and comments on Facebook.

I am extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Jack.
I had the extreme pleasure of working with him at WADV 106.5 RADIO from 1969 - 1970.
I recall his kindness in helping me adjust to being a member of that station's air staff.
He was a great example of the consummate broadcast professional.
Buffalo radio has lost a great voice , personality and
gentleman.
My sincere condolences to his entire family.
Sincerely,
Ken Kiedrowski

I'm so sorry to hear about Jack. This was a shock. He & I stayed in touch on Facebook, after all these years. We were across the street neighbors on Elmwood, when my parent's owned Pfeiffer's. My sincere condolences to the entire Horohoe family.

Bonnie & Family , OMG I was so shocked today as I was looking at the notices back home in Buffalo when Jacks name was before me. I have known Jack since back from our days in Riverside. My deepest sympathy goes out to you & your family. Words just cannot express how much sadness this has brought to myself & so so many of the peoples whose life Jack touched. You were the love of his life, as were your & his children & grandchildren. We all prayed for & followed Jack through his keeping us informed when the Owen & Cole were born He was so proud of each & everyone of the family.
Many thoughts & prayers for you all. GOD Bless

Jack and Bonnie were great neighbors and friends as we began our early married life and children on Chadduck Avenue in Riverside. Jack was a childhood friend to my late husband, Tom. Condolences from Philadelphia to Bonnie and family. Jack's voice and presence will be missed. God Bless.

We are so very sorry for the passing of Jack. We will miss Jack dearly as you could not ask for anyone to be a better friend, husband, father or grandfather than Jack. The sound of Jack's voice will be in our mind and hearts forever.

Dear Bonnie & Family,
I was heartbroken to receive a phone call from Penny Giambra that your dear husband , Jack had died. So suddenly and too soon. Know that when I return to Buffalo in the spring of 2021, I would like to personally resume our long overdue friendship. Nursing School was a long time ago.
