Dear Marlene,
We are so sorry about the loss of Jack. He was a dear friend and will be sorely missed. I have many fond memories of our childhood; sledding in the winter, antics we pulled during our school years, the years we were on the Wethersfield PD, raising our families and growing "old". He will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.

Marlene-
I am so sad to hear of Jack's passing. He was a maverick and irreplaceable. One of a kind who will be sorely missed.
Regards,
