JACK, You will always be missed! Our Edison high school group had some great times together, great memories! And can’t forgot hanging out at Rose Hill shopping center after school. We were young, energetic, and enjoyed our youth. Many of us took different paths after high school, so unfortunately we lost touch. I heard later you and Terry were married, had children and started a dance business. I’m so happy to hear you had a good life and I know your family and friends have great memories of you. It’s been a long time, but you were very special and I will never forget you! God bless you and your family.

So very sorry and shocked by Jack's passing. We were away or would have been there. He will be missed by many.

Terry and family - My kids have been attending Terry's School of Dance and Gymnastics for about two years now. I will always remember Jack helping and praising my kids when they attended the classes he was teaching. I know he talked to me about wanting to retire and travel - but now he is travelling in special place now. I know he is watching over all the kids that are part of your wonderful school.
My condolences on behalf of my family.

Terry - So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully, the kind words being forwarded will help ease your sorrow. Looking back I have very fond memories of a group of young kids full of spirit and a little mischief but never out to do any harm. As an accepted "member" of this group, these guys made me feel safe and protected; it was like having 10 older brothers! We did a lot of crazy things over the years and always had fun. Many of those guys are gone now - too young and tragically. Godspeed Jack Peyton, and thanks for the memories. PS-"Don't let the sun catch you crying"

I am so sorry to hear that Jack has passed. Although I had not seen him for many years, I remember our days at Edison and the Rose Hill Shopping Center. My sympathies.

You don't remember me, but I went to Edison the same time as the Jack and Terry. I know Rose, because I live in Virginia Beach now. I send my condolences to your family. Patty (Aleskowitz) Esola

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. If there is anything you need, please let us know. We share in your grief. Jack was a wonderful husband, father and friend. He knew no strangers. Both of our girls learned so much from you both that you can find comfort in the fact that you two are a part of the successes in their lives. We love you all. Faye Susano & Family
