To Jack's family with my deepest sympathy. Jack was a great team player and a hard act to follow. We had good times up on the Tate's farm playing basketball in the barn, picnicing, camping and just horsing around. All that was over 50 years ago, and I'd do the bike ride from Allentown in July or August just to have Jack back again, and repeat those experiences.
Farewell Dear cousin

Michelle: Our prayers go out to you and your family. I also include Freddie and Gerry. Jack, thanks for the memories....they go back to seventh grade. I'm sure you were extremely proud watching the ND Lacrosse team in the championship game a few weeks ago. Here's to you, Freddie Boom-Boom! Peace!

One of my very best friends at St. Francis and CCHS, we unfortunately drifted apart, as folks do, when I moved to California in 1958. My Dad and his Dad, and also Dr. Leo Eddinger of Allentown who is my Dad's first cousin, knew each other for years and all had very strong roots in Bally.
I was of course shocked to hear of Jack's passing. He will be missed and remembered always.
