I have a lot of nice memories of Jack & Mary. The times we went to Victor and Sylvia’s club in Saugus. The trips to George”s Island on Sundays. Cook outs on Thompson’s Island. and or course the parties at the club. I will miss you Jack!
Saturday mornings at SHYC will never be the same without Jack in his Captain’s Chair, with his friendly smile and commentary on the day’s events. We will all miss his knowledge of all things boating, but will cherrish our memories of one of SHYC’s legends.
RIP Jack Shaw
My condolences to Mary Ellen, John, Mary, Bill, Barbara, and all his extended family.
