My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I've known Jack for years as he has had his boat at Channel Marine. He was quite a character and I always enjoyed seeing and speaking with him. He'll be missed a lot.

Jack was my first cousin, and I have fond memories of our family get-togethers and visits. I wish he and I could have gone on the Canada motorcycle trip we had talked about at one time. He was larger than life and had a heart beyond measure. My condolances to his family on his passing.

Camille and Sons,

I have many fond memories of working with Jack and one particularly wonderful night at a C & R party when Jack and a number of our drivers did a musical review. I still have the pictures. May the memories of his life, in time, brighten the days that are darkened by his passing.

Camille, Danny and John, I am sorry for your loss. Jack was such a great guy. I cant remember a time when he didnt make me laugh, except for the times I was screwing up in the warehouse. My brother always has a story about him, and I'm sure I will hear many more in the future. I'm sorry I wont be able to attend the services, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
