If I remember correctly, my husband and I met Jack in Germany when he was visiting his brother and then we saw him again when his brother came to the states and visited with us in Missouri for a couple of days. Jack was always so nice and so much fun. He will be missed. Our prayers are with Marty and Jack's family at this time.

May You Rest in Peace Jack, a long lost friend I've not seen for too many years and although we've not seen one another for many years I still remember that smiling face you always had. As we say in the Artillery, "End of Mission Old Friend, Rest, Stand Easy". You will be missed. Our thoughts and Prayers are with Lourdes and family.

We are so saddened by the passing of Jack, he played with the Brampton Boomers even when undergoing his chemo and radiation treatments and we were all amazed at his courage, determination and stamina in his fight of this dreaded disease. We awarded him Boomer of the year and to have known him has made our lives richer. Rest in peace my friend. You will be dearly missed.

Sir Jack would always come over with his co-workers and tell his daily joke of which you either laughed or scratched your head at. He knew how to engage all of his friends and was very outgoing with his customers.

May you be in eternal peace Jack......
