Words alone cannot begin to describe the love and appreciation that Jack left onto others. I worked with him over 4 years and he taught me much about the business. He always had a smile and a kind word for every one that his path crossed.
My heart goes out to his family and my thoughts are with them. A void has truly been left in this World.
I will miss that little sly grin he always had for people.
Thank you Jack for all that you have meant, not only for me, but the people's lives that you touched.

My deepest sympathy to the Evan's family.
I went to high school with Jack and have great memories of him from those days. It’s been years since then but I recall he was well liked by everyone at school.
My thoughts and prayers are with Marcia, the children, and his parents.

Dear Marci and Family,
There are no words to describe the sorrow I feel for your Family about the passing of Jack.
Jack was many things to a lot of people. But at the end of the day, he had no greater love than for his Family.
I loved Jack too and I will miss him greatly. I will always remember him fondly, for he has a special place in my heart. 224 622 5587

Dear Chris & Jack, My heart goes out to you as you must struggle to accept the untimely death of your sweet, wonderful son, Jack. It is so hard to understand how our Lord could take him from you, his brothers, and his young family so soon. I pray you and your entire family will be able to ajust to life without him in the days & months ahead. I have no doubt you will be with him again when the Lord decides it is your time. He will be waiting at the entrance to heaven to welcome you home. I want to do everything in my power to help you through this awful loss. I guess all you can do is take one day at a time in these tough days ahead. They say time heals all wounds; I hope it is so for you with this painful loss. Please let me know if at any time I can help. With love, Sherrie

Jack, Chris and family...Jackie was a terrific guy! Growing up with his laughs and smiles is what I will remember always. I was so glad that I got to see him this summer while our eldest boys were playing baseball. There has to be a little peace knowing that his mother had to be waiting for him with open arms. He will be missed. The good die young! God bless your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

on Thursday. It was hard to believe
this was my young friend Jack III.

fine young man. A hard worker, great leader & wonderful father. He
will be missed by all who knew him.
May he rest in heaven with God.

Marcie,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I graduated from Central a year or so before you and went to St. Catherine's Also.
I lost my husband in January of 2008, so I know exactly how you are feeling. You and your Children need to be strong together and always remember all the good times because that will be what will keep you going. Many times over the past 11 months I have asked myself WHY did this happen to me? We will never understand God's plan for us- just know that there is a plan for all of us. Please don't hesitate to call me or e-mail me, since I have had a similar experience I can probably help you with personal, spiritual and legal issues that you may need help with. My prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. Take one day at a time!

Jack & Chris, I cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling now. It was very hard to lose Eddy so suddenly, but to lose your adult child is unthinkable. Jackie was a fine, fun young man and was so proud of his kids. When Jon phoned me from his home in Kennesaw yesterday, I couldn't believe it. Jon learned about it thru the Mt. Penn alumni site. I will try to get to the viewing but I've been off for almost two weeks and can't ask off again.
My prayers are with you and Jackie's wife and children and will be for some time to come. Sincerely,
Barbara Franckowiak

YOU HAVE RAISED A SON YOU CAN BE PROUD OF, but apparently GOD had other plans for him. Jackie was so well-liked by everyone. It's just heartbreaking that he was taken away from you (and his own family) at such a young age. I'm sure he's smiling down on all of you.

In our lifetimes we come across a handful of people who are special to us. Jack was one of those people to me. He brought joy to our lives and love to our hearts. He was a great father, a great son and a great man. We will miss him more than words can express and look forward to the day when we will be together again forever. Our time together on earth was too short but our memories are many. We will always remember your wonderful qualities and thank God for blessing us with you for as long as He did!
