I was very sorry to learn of Jack’s passing. Jack lived next door to my grandparents house in Peckville, so we became fast friends from a very young age and remained so throughout high school.

As so often happens, our high school “gang” went our separate ways after graduation and years passed before we got to reminisce at our 50th high school class reunion. Jack was a good friend and a good man who will be missed by all who knew him (The attached photo is from 1976, when Jack and I attended the bi-centennial celebration in Wash., D.C.).

Our condolences to Carol and family from Chapman Lake, Pa. Wish we could have spent more time with Jackie. He was such a lovable guy. Really enjoyed our last visit at the lake.

I am so sorry to hear of Jackie´s passing. He was a classmate and friend during our high school years. I am glad I got to spend time with him at our class reunions. Jackie was a great guy who always had a smile for everyone.
