Jackie & I met when we were 12 years old on the ball fields in Mt. Vernon. He was the star batter & pitcher for the Panthers. He was an amazing athlete. My dad was coach of the Shamrocks, an opposing team. Jackie & I became special friends & spent many hours together with Jack Coleman & his sister, Ronnie Coleman, until marriage & babies took us in separate directions. (Their father was coach of the Panthers.) The laughter, innocence, fun & friendship of those times we shared have never been forgotten. They blessed my life. Jackie was one of the sweetest, most real & most talented people I have ever known. My heart, sympathy & prayers go out to his beloved family. Rest in Peace Jackie until we all meet again.

My dad was the manager of the Shamrocks, an opposing team. Jackie & I became special friends & spent a lot of time with Jack Coleman & his sister, Ronnie Coleman. (Their father coached the Panthers.)The four of us remained friends until marriage & babies took us all in a different directions. Jack was so sweet & so real & so talented. Those fun, innocent & special times spent together have never been forgotten. They were a blessing in my life. My sympathy & prayers are with his entire beloved family.

I was really sadden by this news. Jackie and I spend a lot of time together back in our Edison High Days. Played a fair amount of Football (He as Linebacker, me as Guard). Great Fun!
Jack had it all in those days; Good looking, athletic, great personality...etc.He lived in apartments on third avenue north of the playground of the Old Sophie J Mee school. Of course, that meant we cut class on occasion and hung out in Babe's with Pete Coschigano, Chip Krsulich, Tony Boschito and Tommy Ghirardi. Hell I didn't even like coffee in those days, but it was a great escape! I lost track of Jack after High School. We both didn't play on the MV High teams our senior years. I tried to reach out to high when I heard he was in Ossining NY, but it didn't pan out. I think the power of my saddness attests to the power of Jack's personality. He was the original "great guy" I'll always think of him of fondly!~

Very sad to hear of passing of my dear friend Jack . I had the privilege to meet Jack in Manhattan and like anyone who met him found a true gentleman, his love for his family was there for all to see. Shared a few games of golf and many laughs with him. Miss him
