Remembering my talented cousin Jack on this anniversary of his passing. My thoughts are with his brother, my favorite cousin George.

Barney Miller and Seinfeld are neck and neck as my favorite sitcoms of all time. I loved Jack in his role as Marty and lately Facebook has been sending me clips and entire episodes which I find myself watching and laughing out loud. The last couple of days I've seen some "Marty" episodes and disturbed my daughter with my loud laughter. He was hilarious! I'm so sad to discover Jack passed away nearly 15 years ago. I will never forget his performances as Marty and will love them forever. RIP Jack.

Dear DeLeon Family - I am very sorry for your loss. I remember hearing about Jack when I was young, and was so surprised to see him on TV one night many years ago. I am very glad to have met him and his fine family. Love, Nora Kallen

I remember cousin Jackie in the Everglades when I was quite young. How brave he was to be out there with the alligators! I remember his visits--few as they were--where he was always approachable and fun.

It was good to see cousin Jack at George's 70th birthday party. I remember, as a child, seeing him perform on the Johnny Carson show and being so proud that he was my cousin; Aunt Gertie boasting about her Jackie performing at the Copacabana Club here in New York.
