Jack,

You were a class act, with a lot of wisdom. I hope they have cigars in heaven. You will be missed.

Jackie was a wonderful uncle to all of the Doherty's. He was also a terrific brother-in-law to our Dad and Mom. He had a great sense of humor and always welcomed all of us to his home very often. Jackie, you are now with God, free of all pain and suffering. May you rest in peace.
