Mary and Family,
My deepest condolences to you. I remember Jack from when I started my career in 1971 at Engine 50's house and Jack was a member of truck 18 at that time. I played racket ball and golfed with him at his private club. We had many good times together and he will be dearly missed.

Mary and Family,
My deepest condolences to you. I started my career at Engine 50 house in 1971 and Jack was a member of Truck 18, so I have known him all these years and I was one of his Racket Ball partners and one of his Golf Friends that was able to play golf with him at his Private Club in Calumet City. He was a great guy and a good friend of mine. I will miss him dearly.
