Jack was a kind and wise fellow who could innovate and encourage students of all ages. Jacksonville needed him and Jack made our city better.

Dear Cousin Jack, I fondly recall how close we were growing up but life took us miles away from each other. However we did get to visit some time over the years especially a special Christmas some time ago and our visit to Florida when you had your house boat and were so excited about it. We had many long distance phone calls but I am sorry the last one did not happen. I pray that you and Alice have had a joyful reunion. Love, Anne

My Uncle Jack inspired me to choose a teaching career and we even took classes together when I worked on my master's degree. There was never any doubt what my specialty would be as I watched the way he gave of himself to children with special needs and created an environment for every child to live up to his potential.He was more than an uncle and great uncle to my family. He treated my children as his own and enriched our lives with his wonderful humor. He and I were best of buddies, having an ongoing lunch date every Wednesday as well as daily afternoon talks to download our day.It was an honor and privilege to be able to take care of him in his final days after he devoted so much of his life taking care of others. I can only imagine how he is rejoicing to be together once again with the love of his life. We will miss him so much but are comforted knowing God has prepared a magnificent mansion for him in a perfect heaven with no more pain or tears. Many blessings will be stored in our hearts forever. With love always, Maureen, Jimmy, Katie, Adam, Josh and Marie

I was fortunate to have worked for Jack Barile at Alden Road Exceptional Student Center from 1988 until his retirement from the Duval County Public Schools in 1996. We continued our friendship after his retirement and I was lucky enough to have been with him for his 80th birthday in November, 2007. Mr. Barile inspired me as a teacher and always had the best intetrest of his students in mind. He will be missed by many people in the Jacksonville community whose lives he touched. Rest peacefully, Mr. B.

Mr.Barile will be remembered by those who worked with him in exceptional child education , as a leader who was dedicated to improving the education and daily lives of special needs students. He made positive things happen for them each day. He advocated for the financing of special programs and services that gave kids a chance to be productive adults. I will remember him as an educational mentor and a friend since the early 1970's. My sympathy goes out to his family. You should be proud of Jack and his lasting accomplishments.
Sincerely,
Doris LePrell

I was a student at duPont in 1956. I remember when we drove to Key West for a football game. And we rode in Mr. Barile's Mercury convertible !! Wonderful memories.
