I cant believe it will be 15 years since you abruptly departed this world, not a day goes by that I dont miss and think about you. You my friend left a huge impression on my heart, you were the one we could all turn to for advice, for laughs, for help and anything and everything that we may have needed. You And Debbie have raised the most beautiful and caring family that has extended into handsome and beautiful grandchildren. I know you are proud of your boys and the families theyve created. You my friend will forever be in my heart, until we meet again!!!

John "L Schultz (Jake The Snake) was one of the best guys you'll ever meet. He was a one of a kind guy that no one can replace, but he can all think of how he became that guy to remember him. He was one of my favorite Uncles and I will never forget him until one day we meet again in that wonderful place called heaven. Uncle Jack could make you laugh just by the looks that he made. He didn't even have to say a word to be the guy he was. He will be missed dearly by everyone because he had touched our lives in a way that no one could have. He will be kept in a special place in my heart and I know the same for others.

Debbie, John, Scott & Todd,

There are no words that can describe the sadness that we all feel for your terrible loss. I love you all like my family & I will chersih every memory I have ever had & will have with you & your entire family. Jack has been a huge part of my life I will miss our late nights on the porch talking for hours about absolutely nothing. We always did have fun. Jack is probably the greatest man I know, I have such admiration for him. The greatest thing he has left us all is his WONDERFUL SPIRIT. He will be truly missed by all. Good thing you boys are so much like him....JUST REMEMBER HE WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT MAN...

I LOVE YOU ALL & I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR ALL OF YOU....

Dad

People say time heals and I just want you to know it is not getting any easier. We are just not the same without you. You were our strength when we were weak. Your shoulder was there when we needed to cry. Your ear was there when we needed someone to listen. You made all of us what we are today and I just wanted to tell you how proud of you we all are, to see all the people that you touched on your short journey was truly amazing. I will never understand why you were taken from us. We are getting by barely but in a situation like this is when you would step up and be at your best in bringing us comfort. We will never forget you and we love you. Seriously. Everytime I had a bad day you would pull me through now we have to be there for each other. Watch over us.

I read this somewhere and thought of you all...

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below with tiny lights like heaven stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away your tears, for I am sharing Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir I hear. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring. Its far beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain within your heart, but I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me loved ones, you know I hold you dear. Be glad I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all LOVE is the gift, more precious than pure gold, it was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love each other as my Father said to do for I can't count the blessings, or the love He has for you. So, have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away those tears for I am sharing Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Debbie,John,Scott and Todd,

I will never find the right words to comfort you or your family at this very heart-breaking time in your life. Just remember that Jack will be with at all time and will always be in your hearts. The memories will help you get thru your days. I will always remember the laughter and smiles that Jack has brought to my family thru good and bad times. Now he is making the angels smile and laugh. God Bless-I love you all Belinda

Debbie,John,Scott,Todd;

I just wanted to express my sincere sympathy in losing Jack. I want you all to know how proud of each and every one of you he was. He talked about all of you every time the families got together "Seriously". I also want you all to know how special he was to our entire family. He made our day every time we seen him. He always knew how to get the gang rolling from his funny lines,(Idiots) and silly outfits. Our gatherings will never be the same without him there. I know he always said he wanted to be part of our family, and believe me, HE WAS and always will be. John, Todd, and Scott, please take care of your Mom for us. You guys will gain strength to get thru this, and we want you all to know that we love you all and want you to know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Debbie, I am always here if you need to talk or anything. To all of you, This Great Man will be missed!

Love Robin, Mike, Brian and rest of Kowalewski Family

I read this somewhere and hope it will comfort you and your mom...

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN

I still hear the songs,

I still see the lights,

I still feel your love

on cold wintry nights.

I still share your hopes

and all of your cares.

I'll even remind you

to please say your prayers.

I just want to tell you

you still make me proud

You stand head and shoulders

above all the crowd.

Keep trying each moment

to stay in His grace

I came here before you

to help set your place

You don't have to be

perfect all the time

He forgives you the slip

If you continue the climb

To my family and friends

please be thankful today

I'm still close beside you

In a new special way

I love you all dearly

now don't shed a tear

Cause I'm spending my

Christmas with Jesus this year

I am so sorry about Uncle Jack, he was the funniest man, seriously. I will miss him he is the only uncle that i was actually close to so its hard. This is going to be a hard Christmas, but we only have to think back on the memories with Uncle Jack and laugh.

Debbie, John, Scott, Todd,

My deepest sympathy. Jack was always willing to help Frank and I to research properties when we first started to buy rentals. He was always helpful. I will miss seeing him outside the building waiting to pick up up. He always took the time to say hello and ask how things were going. I am sure that he will be sadly missed.

He's in a better place.

Dear Schultz Family:

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Jack was a really good, down-to-earth guy. He was the perfect Little League Dad, always supportive of his son’s sports activities. I know he was very proud of his boys and he has left a great legacy that goes a lot deeper than his kids’ exceptional abilities to play baseball or basketball.

Once again, please accept my condolences. The Arlington neighborhood lost a truly special man.

Mrs. Schultz, John, Scott, and Todd

I was saddened to read of the passing of your husband and father. I remember him as a very active parent for all three of you boys at CHS. He was at every open house, and all your games. It was good that I got to know him and recall our stories of rival days of Etna and Lawrenceville! My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Debbie, John, Scott and Todd,

I can't express how deeply saddened I was to hear the news about Jack. In the 26 years that I have coached sports, Jack was my favorite parent because he always understood that we were there for the kids and he helped me support that philosophy. I'll always remember him as a good man and a friend. My prayers are with you and the boys.

My dear friend Jack:

You have touched so many people with your life. I have so many memories: The time I had a flat tire, you were the first person I called. You fixed it and invited me up to your house afterward, and made me laugh about it. When I had a question about taxes or government, I called you. And you helped. Just a week ago, I sat next you while you booed the birthday boy singing karaoke at his own party. Slouching forward, the little wrinkles above your eyes, giving me advice. Seriously. The quiet political discussions. Riding home from a graduation singing "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" as loud as we could. The Halloween costume with raisons. Teaching me to read. You raised three of the best mannered boys I've ever known, and I'm glad I had the chance to tell you that. You did everything for Debbie, my sister in spirit, and my heart goes out to her, John, Scott, & Todd. I know you're looking down on them, sharing cough drops with angels. I love you Jack.

Darlene & Dave Hughes
