I can remember back to when Jack and I use to play together back when his grandma lived on Grand and then to continue on through our childhood. Jack was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. Jack will remain in my heart forever. May you rest in peace Jack ...
Until we meet again I will miss you

In remembrance of my nephew, Jackie (as he was known in the family) I send my deepest sympathy to my brother. Jackie was always a good natured and warm hearted boy. As his uncle, I regret missing many of his adult life but have many special times shared with him during his childhood. I cannot say in words the sadness I feel with his passing. I can only take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and has joined the other family and loved ones in heaven who have passed on as well. I will always commend and praise Jackie as the strong and loving father he became as an adult. He will remain a bright star in the heavens as he was that special in all our hearts and mind. To the immediate family and friends that he has been there and cared for ..I ask that he be honored this way as he deserves to be rememebered for the good that he possesed and conveyed. I will miss him dearly and pray for all those who were impacted by his passing....God Bless

Jack was a childhood friend and I am heartbroken to hear of this tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers go to his daughter and family.
If we are left with anything from the loss of Jack, it would be that he has shown us how precious life truly is. Embrace those that you love and send Jack a blessing for his lasting gift.
Sincerely

Im sure that I speak for many when I say this but this is so sudden and unbelievable that not even words could explain how and what so many of us are feeling or thinking at this point in time. I am very sorry to ALL whom have been touched in one way or another by Jack our EASTSIDE buddy. Time will heal the pain but those great memories and reminiscing about the good old times will help to keep him close and in our hearts forever. Jack speed skate your way to heaven and keep watching upon us until we all meet again.
Until Then Ill Miss YA Buddy
