Jack possessed a strong adherence to his faith , which he practiced all the days of his life. His faith and courage allowed him to right many wrongs. Jack was very opinionated and knowledgeable of world events. His Irish lineage bestowed on him the "gift of gab" which we were all blessed to receive. He was a man of great character. Thanks to God for sharing him with us for so long. Rest assured he will be received with open arms by many!
