    Condolences to you, Sally , and to the children. Jack was truly just a good man. He and you were always so much fun. I remember during my mom's funeral, after standing for hours, Jack brought me a chair and insisted that I sit. I was so thankful for that act of understanding/kindness. Please send me your email address. I would love to stay in touch.

    To Sally and family Jack was a true gentleman! A wonderful neighbor that looked out for my children and I being neighbors for nearly 17 years. I enjoyed our many conversations and advice that he gave me through out the years. Jack was one of the wonderful men that I had the pleasure of knowing never having one bad word about anyone. Sally I love you,you truly had one of the classics..

    Jack was always so kind to me and my family when we moved in next door so many years ago. A true neighbor. I can still hear his voice from when he would talk to me about me dribbling the basketball or throwing the football outside. Thoughts and prayers ❤️

    Jack was a warm and friendly man. My special memories include the day I spent with him at the Pittsburgh Airshow. Our mutual love of aviation made for a wonderful day. Another special memory was when I invited Jack to a car cruise....I had no idea he would buy a Corvette while he was there! I will miss his friendship. Dave Demyan
