Jack's wife (Peggy Wrigley Maguire) and I met as pre-schoolers in Roxborough, and went to St. John's grade school together. Met Jack several times, and worked with their daughter as she passed her Nursing boards. Lovely family! Always kind and out-going, lots of fun and love there. My condolences to all - Charlotte (Duffy) Kain - Blue Bell, PA.

Jack was such a kind man. A true "gentle" man. We will miss seeing him out the yard walking with his best friend "Molly". Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
