Dear Marie, Pat, Andrew, Jackie & Dan,
I am very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories from childhood being at your home and having sleepovers with the boys. Jack was always welcoming, friendly and warm to me. He made me feel as part of the family. He will be missed but never forgotten. Please take care of yourself during these trying times and be well
All the best,
Michael Ventresca & family
