Judy and family, I’m sorry to learn of Jack’s passing. Sending prayers for all.
Jack worked with and was a very wonderful friend to my brother Tom ODonnell. Whenever I hear Jack’s name, I will think of how good he was to my brother. He would let Tom, who was not well, come and spend time with him while working on motors, lawnmowers or something.
So sorry to hear about Jack passing. We spent a lot of time together when we were in our teen years. Jack was a great guy an a good friend.
So deeply sorry to hear about Jack’s passing. Blessings to the family.
Sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. Thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
It breaks my heart that Jack is not here anymore. He was my Dads best friend and such a wonderful friend he was, he was always there so kind and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I just can’t make it real. I’m so sorry for his family’s loss. Heaven sure did gain a beautiful Angel! We will all miss him so much!!
Uncle Jack was one of a kind! He was a tinkerer of all trades! He loved his family! He especially enjoyed when we nieces came from Pa to visit ! He laughed at our silliness and joined in with his own funny stories! Visiting will be so different without him! Much love to my Aunt Sandy, cousins, Michelle, Ronnie and Jeff! Just knowing we will see him again warms my heart! Until then, Uncle Jack rest easily! Love you❤️❤️❤️Kathy
