Rita, so sorry to hear of your loss.

From "Woo Woo" Stripers on the Delaware river to gator blues on Island Beach State Park. Jack provided excellent company on my trips to the states and I'll miss him greatly.

A good fisherman, but more than that a good man.

Rita & Family:

I spent many hours fishing with Jack. One of the most quiet, soft spoken, friendliest individuals I have ever met. I will miss him dearly along with all of you. A very sad day for me. I will always remember Jack's soft words and good nature.

To Rita and Family,

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Jack through working at ARCO but more importantly as a friend of his from the softball league. As a member of "SPIRIT", I will always appreciate Jack as a team mate and friend and my prayers are with him and with you.

I'm sure I can speak on behalf of all the players when I say that we share in your loss and grief and he will always be a part of our family at "SPIRIT".
