My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of a lovely human being I was so very honored to have known. I worked a police detail on Union Street years ago for Jack. He paid me more than I had ever made for any company. I'm certain he did the same for all of us in Rockland. He was a true gentleman, kind person and giving man. I was so fortunate to have known him. My heart is heavy with your loss. Peace In Christ.

Jack and I turned a lot of wrenches in our late teens, constantly working and upgrading Jack's 1960 Corvette, repairing hard used Yamaha dirt bikes, we rode 100's and 100's of miles in the dirt. Several friends from Damon Ave in Holbrook MA once took an Epic dirt bike trip from the high tensions in Holbrook all the way to the Cape Cod canal and back on just dirt, there about 8 of us it was wicked cool. Jack and I spent lots of good times deer hunting in Vermont and once participated in a wild seance while camping in his parents travel trailer.
Good times!

To the entire Tassinari family,

My heart aches to hear of your deep loss.

Jack was a devoted friend and family man who made everyone feel welcomed. He was also one of the hardest workers I have ever known, but also the life of the party. He knew how to truly enjoy life! I have so many fond memories over the years of great times with your family.

May all of the good times and memories bring you comfort and peace.

I wish I could be there to honor Jack in person, but please know I am praying hard for all of you, and you are in my heart.
