Arthur and I are so saddened by Jack's passing.
We grew to know and love him during his time in Lincoln MA. He and Peg were such good company and we will remember those special moments.
He was a pillar of the church during his time in Lincoln, and lovingly nursed and cared for Peg during her illness until her last breath.
Jack's warmth, kindness and humor will be greatly missed. We will always treasure the times we had with him.

Sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a strong presence in Glenside and took care of our family's optical needs for many years.

I always enjoyed our talks, as he had some great thoughts about life.

We are always saddened to see the "old" Glenside folks move on. May God bless the entire McCandless family and leave you with happy thoughts and memories about Dad/Jack.

Dad, I remember the first day I met you after I started dating your son Mark and you welcomed me with open arms into your family treating me like your own daughter. There are people that get married and don't get along with their in-laws but I'm honored to have had you for my father-in-law for almost 30 years. I know your were welcomed in heaven with open arms with all the other loved ones. RIP my sweet Angel. Gone but not forgotten! Love, your daughter-in-law Maria.
