Save the last dance for me in heaven.

Thoughts and prayers.

My prayers and condolences to the family and to all friends of Jack Madden. A true and gracious gentleman. Always sporting the personality & smile that blessed everyone he met.

He was a joy to work with in the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Especially the annual Purple Heart dinners, but really in all aspects of the local Purple Heart Chapter 758 of combat-wounded veterans. Jack was at home with all of his fellow brothers in arms.

Jack will be missed, but NEVER forgotten. All gave some, some gave all.

You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7.

Rest in His loving arms Jack! I am honored and blessed to have known you.

My condolences to Mister Jack's family. We grew up knowing his genuine warmth. My father enjoyed Jack as a co-worker and friend. My mother loved his big smile and bigger heart. "He is a good one," my parents often said after parting company.

To the most self accomphilsed man I know, you will forever be in my heart.
Love you Grandpa Jack,

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Madden's family and friends. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Such an honor and pleasure to have known you, Jack!
Deep gratitude for all the support you gave to Danielle.
Condolences to the family.

We sincerely concur with the many kind thoughts and remembrances of Jack in the earlier entries. He was a positive and insightful influence in our lives.

Dear, sweet, fun-loving Jack will be sorely missed by all of us whose life he blessed. The room brightened when he was present and the dance floor will never quite be the same! I cherish those dances with Jack. There is no doubt heaven has opened its doors for this fine man. My condolences to his family and other dear friends. We will all miss Jack. May the Lord be with you, friend.

I will miss Jack's smile, positive attitude, and willingness to participate in the activities of the Marine Corps League. With deepest sympathies for the family, I offer a final salute and fond farewell to my friend...till we meet again. "Semper Fidelis"

Thank you Jack for all you gave to the Tallahassee Irish American community and all who love Ireland. You are a true gentleman. Slainte!

my thoughts and prayers are with Jack's kids and sisters and also with Sonya during these sad and dark days. The pictures brought back wonderful memories...A dheis De go raibh a anam...

So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We are sending prayers for the family Patrick and Betty (Zintz) Felice Boscobel Wisconsin.

Enjoyed working with Jack at the Board. The heavens are smiling with him there. God Bless your family and help them get through this sad time.

Jack was a friend and colleague for many years, in Comptroller Lewis' office and the SBA. He was a generous, warm hearted soul and complete gentleman; his thoughtfulness and talents improved many lives. He will be missed; he would also probably appreciate being remembered in a toast from time to time...St. Patrick's Day is at hand.

Every time Jack walked into my office at the bank, it brightened my day. I loved helping him with his projects including the Purple Heart dinner and the St. Patrick's Day parade. I will miss him but think fondly of him every time I hear bag pipes.

Many fond memories of Jack from St. Rose, as cheerleaders at St. Catherine's HS & with Jack & Patricia. You are in my thoughts & prayers. My condolences to your family.

I am proud to have followed in a few of Jack's Springtime Footsteps as an AJ!
For Jack, I know the Irish Eyes will always smile!

I had the honor of working directly with John at the Comptroller's Office. I found him to be a great leader, a good man, a kind and understanding soul. Plus he was so nice and incredibly smart! I have nothing but good memories of him.
My condolences to the family.
Rest in peace, John.

I am sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thought and prayers.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Knew Jack well, I was in Corrections and he was probation/parole. Another good one lost. Robert Page, Islamorada, Fla

We will miss a great man who gave so much to the community and fellow Veterans. With heartfelt sympathy, the members of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter #5 mourn your loss.

A friend said that, on meeting Jack for the first time, "I liked him the minute he walked in the door." In addition to all his other fine qualities, he did indeed brighten up the room. One of the finest people you could ever know.

I was blessed to know Jack and to work with him in many Military Service Organizations. Jack was a leader but brought joy and happiness to all he came in contact with. May God Bless him, his family and our Country. Jack was a brother in arms as both of us were Navy corpsmen and served our country and fellow Marines and we shall never forget him. Mike Ford

So Sorry and So Sad the loss of a
great man always busy, always
assisting, and one who enjoyed life to the fullest; he will be
terribly missed by so many.
Love and Deepest Sympathy to the family.

Very sad to hear of Jack's passing. I knew him best within the Tallahassee Irish Society, where he was instrumental in establishing Tallahassee's St. Patrick's Day parade and in promoting our rich Irish heritage to the rest of the city. You will be sorely missed, Jack. My deepest condolences to his family.

Jack will be missed. He was a bright spot at the SBA and the community. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

So sad to hear of Jack's passing. He was such fun to work with and had a great sense of humor. My condolences to his family and friends. May God Bless all of you. Martha Hurdle

Farewell to my dear friend and comrade in arms. We shared some good times over the past fifteen years. Being within one month of the same age, kind of made us contemporaries. Jack you might have been Navy but you were also a Marine. That, too we shared. You will be missed my friend.
