Jack and I were classmates at St. Philip Neri school (class of 52!).. I knew him as a man committed to God, the Church and of course, to the family of which he was so proud. Every year at Christmas, I would get a picture of the family that kept growing with new generations. To Joanne and the family, I offer sympathy and love. I offered Mass for him on the day that he died. Fr. Jim Allen, OMI
