we have so many very special memories of our cousin jack & his wonderful family !
Loved you dear brother.
It was a pleasure working with Jack, I spent many enjoyable moments speaking with Jack about Yankee baseball over the years at Arkwright. Rest In Peace my friend.
Jack was a dear co-worker who is missed by everyone at the FM Global (formerly Arkwright) Waltham office. His knowledge of baseball kept us all entertained, and he was always the gentleman even though he was a devout Yankees fan among many Red Soxs fans. May he rest in peace.
Fond memories of our childhood days spent at the Townie and flippping and trading baseball cards against his front steps. In spite of his preference for the Yankees, he was loved and respected. God bless.
