Uncle Jack will forever be missed. He truly was the life of the party. Jack along with my late father in law Angelo Garzonetti were my dynamic duo. Truly two great family men and wonderful gentlemen. Jack, Darlene, Angelo, and Millie will be together again for eternity. Take care uncle and God bless you and you will be missed. Give Roxanne a hug for me and tell her we miss her. Joe Giorango
