Bob and Nancy. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You cant imagine my shock upon seeing the news. We lost track of each other somewhere between my moves and his. I notified John Chickmakis in Florida by e-mail. I am sure he shares my feelings. Jack was always the healthy one with the best attitude towards all life could throw at him. I have thought of him often and now I will miss him often as I am sure you and the rest of the family will. Bill

To Bob and his family and to Jack's family - I grew up feeling as if I was a part of the Stricos family. Carol was one of my best and dearest friends and Bob and Jack and Carol and I had some of the greatest childhood adventures a kid could ever ask for. It was heart-breaking when Carol passed and no less so now to learn of Jack's passing. It is hard to think of any words to say that will be good enough. I can, however, remember all the birthday parties and the days of going to Public School 19 together and the forts we used to build and having lunches and sleepovers at each other's houses and I will never forget that Jack's mother made the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the entire world. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you will get great comfort and peace from all the memories you have. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Bob, you worked for quite a while with my husband, Bryant, and he sends you his deepest sympathy as well. May knowing that your family was absolutely the best bring you great peace.

We did not know Jack, however, we know his son, Matt. Knowing what a great young man Matt is, we know his father must have been a wonderful man and a good example. Our condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.

Jack was a very kind caring individual who loved life and most of all his sons. When my children were young they always enjoyed visiting Princeton and especially skiing at Mt. Wachusett.
