I was saddened to learn from a long-time friend of the passing of Jack. I did know him very well from my teaching years at Manchester Regional High School; 26 years, in fact for me.
As head custodian, he and I maintained a great relationship; I taught in the Business Education Department. I always treated him as well as his staff with respect, and therefore, he treated me the same way. When I requested something from the Custodial Department, he was kind, efficient, and filled my request in an expeditious manner. We were friends as well as co-workers and could discuss issues in confidence with each other with no fear of having them repeated.
I have resided in Forida for the past 12 years and depend on my friends in NJ to keep me informed of all news.
I also was a parishoner of St. Mary's when I resided in the Totowa section of Paterson. I now belong to St. Bernadette parish in St. Lucie West and will light a candle for Jack at Mass this weekend; I will keep him in my thoughts and in my prayers.</b></font><br><br>
