Judy, Bud and I were so sorry to hear about Jack's death. He was a good neighbor here at Cahill, and we were so impressed by his kindness and capable care of Foster Green. God bless you as you grieve his loss.

Dear Judy and girls, Don and I can hardly believe Jack is gone, The world has lost a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We prayed for him at Mass on Sunday and are consoled by the wonderful memories of times shared in Minnesota. We were all family then sharing the holidays together. He never got to visit us in Florida, but I know if he had it would have been just like old times. Remember the great fun we had when we spent the week at Quogue and making snow angels walking from our house on Summit Lane through the woods to your house. We will never forget Jack. I know this was a very sad day foryou all. May he rest in peace.

Dear Judy, Julie and Jenny -- Sending you prayers and love from the entire Moran Family during this difficult time. We are so sad but we are comforted by the wonderful memories we have of all the great times spent with Jack and all of you during our years in Minnesota and since then. He was such a wonderful friend and we loved him. Did you know that 30 years ago Jack convinced my Dad to let me go on my first date? That's only one of the many things I remember about him that makes me smile. He was such a wonderful friend and we will miss him so much. We love you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. My dad deeply admired Jack and I could understand why from the moment I met him. Jack had a way of making every person in the room feel like they were important. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

We were glad we got to spend a few hours with Jack in Dec with our old Gourmet group. He looked good and talked great at that time. What a shock to hear of his death. Our sympathies to Judy, Julie and Jennifer.

Jack was a man with a ready smile, a kindly heart, and a generous spirit. A saavy businessman - he will be greatly missed by his many clients and friends. Jerry and I send our sincerest condolences to his family. We are out of town and will therefore not be able to attend the service. Our prayers are with you in this time of grief.

Even though as a distant cousin we rarely met, Jack always impressed me with the warmth and friendliness of his father. He is fondly remembered.
