Jack was one of my mentors when I was a junior at CBVRS. Jack and Donna are who I took calls with when I actually started running calls and they both taught me so much. I remember as a junior, my friends and I nicknamed him Eeyore, because he reminded us so much of him. Jack, your kindness will never be forgotten and you'll always be Eeyore!

Very surprised and saddened to learn of Jack's passing. Along with my brother Paul, I have many fond memories of spending fun times at the Shelar home on Falls Rd., Bethany. That goes back 50 years. Although I have not had contact with Jack for many years, our childhood times remain vivid within me. Fishing, camping, bike riding and general messin' around, etc. Regards and condolences to Billy, and Mr. Shelar and fond memories to the late Mrs. Shelar,
Sincerely,
Mark Cofrancesco
