Glynn, I will always hold Jack and Jody close to my heart for their kind and generous spirits. Plus, they could dance like nobody's business. We will miss him and his amazing stories at our family gatherings. God bless you, Jack.

I am grateful to have known Jack since I was a child 30 years ago and he sweetly teased me for taking the chocolate he left out for me. I am grateful for how he has been a part of our family. My prayers for all who are missing him.

Maidlow family - we always enjoyed seeing Grandpa Jack. And though he wasn't a grandpa to us, we know how special of a Grandpa he was to Derek, and to his great grandkids Kade and Noah. You all have been so good to include him in your lives and to honor him, his work, the life he led, and the interesting stories he had to tell. He always made us laugh. We know you will miss him, and we will too. God bless all of you as you say your goodbyes. Much love, Maria, Matt & Abbey Garrett

Some of Paulette's family in New York had never met Jack but they knew of him and always thought highly of him. My mother Paulette and I got to meet and spend time with Jack and Jody every time we visited Paulette and Jeffrey. I was awed by the long and wonderful life he lived. He was one tough cookie!!!! Much love to the Maidlow family for their loss from the entire Schradin family in New York. Love Anita Schradin and Joseph P. Codi Jr.

I am so sorry that I will not be able to be at Jack's service on Saturday. He was a dear man who wiggled his way deep into my heart. I was always his "Favorite-Step-Daughter-in-Law"! I will miss him oh so much. Love and blessings to John and Jeff and family.

I am saddened by Jack's passing. I will miss the frequent trips to Jim's restaurant and the family get togethers that we did with him. I really appreciate how he treated my Mother, Jody Maidlow, especially during her bout with dementia. Jack was my Dad longer than my real Dad who died at 42. Jack was an integral part of our family who was loved by all. Unfortunately, we are unable to attend the funeral but are send our love and prayers to the Maidlows.

My heart felt condolences for the family. Truly a class act that lasted 97 full years. I am blessed to have known Jack for slightly more than 50 years. Jack left his mark on all that worked for and with him in his professional life. Jack may God Bless and welcome you to your new home. Many of your family and friends precede you and I have no doubt that they will be lining the streets to welcome you home.

God Bless you Mr. Maidlow
