Uncle Jack,

I cannot tell you how much you will be missed. I will remember always turning on AOL and seeing you "signed on" in my buddy list. My children, Gennifer, Michael and Adam as well as my husband Bert wish you a safe journey. Give my love to Auntie Gene.

Your niece,

Marla

Jack, You were always a good example for me of always being optimistic. You never complained when you were in pain and accepted whatever life dealt to you. I am very proud of all your accomplishments and will miss talking with you. May you rest in peace and god bless you.

Your loving sister, Alice

Very sorry about your brother. It seems like we were all just kids. I hope your family is well.

Even though distance has kept all of us apart over the years, the importance of family that was instilled in us as kids has kept us together in spirit. Uncle Jack will be remembered for his devotion to our family, the joy he received from playing poker with the family and definitely his love of computers. I find comfort in knowing he is now reunited in heaven with his wife, who was always known to us as Aunt Gene, my beloved grandparents, Fannie and Albert Kriesel, my cherished father, Robert Friedman, sorely-missed cousin, Linda Weisstein, and her dad, Uncle Bernie Silverman. May the love and joy they all gave us remain in our hearts forever.

Thinking of all of you, He will be missed by all of us
