Carol and the Kids
We lost touch as the kids grew up. We did spend a lot of time at Queen of Angels and have many memories. Sorry for your loss and we too...remember Jack's laughter! He and his laugh filled a room!

Jack, you did it your way. The picture boards, name tags, casual dress and the added canned goods in lieu of flowers was a nice touch. Lots of people to celebrate your life. You touched many and it showed at your viewing. The memory that sticks out for me was your constant "you're doing a great job" when I worked at the hardware back in the day. Thank you for taking the time. Even though we know you're in a better place, you definitely will be missed by your family. My thoughts are with Carol, your children, grandchildren and siblings. Enjoy your next journey.

My condolences to the entire Tipre family. Jack always had a smile on his face, I always enjoyed walking out of our garage and talking to him as he did projects in your garage or manned the grill in your driveway. He will be missed.
