So sad to see I just lost my best friend. Although we were one year apart in age we were like brothers. Distance separated us over the years but Jack and Maureen were always at the top of our list for visits. Sixty-six years ago Jack rode the train to Iowa to be in our wedding. We feel blessed we got that final hug three months ago on our last visit to Conn. We thank God Jack you are now at peace with Pat, Margaret, Jimmy, Peggy, Eileen and of course my God son Ricky. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace
