Jack was a good father and husband and well recognized by his community. On the day of his funeral the church was overcrowded with parishoners and little leaguers. jack always said he was a father a coach and a police officer. He was proud of all three titles.

My memories of my father remain alive today when I look into the eyes of my own children and the sons and daughters of my brother and sisters. All of his grandsons share part of his name, as do several nephews,as a tribute to this great man of honor, dignity and family.

I workrd with Jack for many years at the 43 and there was never a person like him. He was fair to everyone and hated no one. My GOD hold him close.

Jack's wife, Rosemary Andrews, was my best friend from the time we were 12 years olduntil she past away. I have never seen a couple so much in love. Jack was a good husband, father, and catholic. He was truly a gentle man.

I knew Jack and worked with him in the 43rd. Pct. for many years. I liked Jack and so did all of the other P.O's in the precinct. I have never seen him get angry about anything. I can still see his smiling face before me. He was a great man and will be missed. God bless him.

I worked with Jack for several years and still remember his smiling face. Jack was the easiest going person ever. It was so sad when we lost him so young. I remember Rosemary too. What a great couple. May they rest in peace together again.
