Wow, how shocked I was to read about Jack in Newsday. I went to SUNY Oswego with Jack and Patty who were fellow "Greeks". Although I have not seen them since then, I have lots of fun and fond memories of Jack. It was wonderful to read of all his accomplishments and of his love for his family. My sympathies and prayers to his family and friends...

As Jack's family mourns his loss, so does the "family" of colleagues who worked with him at Hannibal Central Schools.

We met Jack and Patty when Patty and I were roommates at Oswego Hospital when Jennifer and my son Joe were born 45 minutes apart. Jack was such a proud papa, bringing Elizabeth to visit and showing Jennifer off to everyone he saw. Our sympathies to you all.
