Both surprised and Sorry to see another Old friend: "ARMA BULL DOG" as in our football team mascot, passing away. While Jack was a couple years older. He always was friendly and had a smile when ever I saw Jack. We Had a nice visit at Arma Homecoming several years ago. I would appreciate any other old friends, if they wish to, contacting me.

So very sorry to hear about Jack. Have great memories during our school years together in grade school and high school. He was an all around nice guy. When my father, Veto Tassi, was so ill, he made time to visit him. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jack's family during this difficult time. I worked with Jack at the Walnut Post Office for several years. Jack had a great sense of humor and always had an interesting story to share. He loved his family and spoke fondly of them. He will be missed.

Sincerest condolences to your family. I well remember, and think of them often, some of the escapades that happened when we were growing up as neighbors. I still get a smile when I think of some of them. I enjoyed seeing you in 2015 at the Arma Homecoming. I was hoping to see you again this year. I guess that will have to wait.
