Uncle Jackie was the most kindest & gentle man. He will always be in our hearts ❤️
Love Kevin & Patty H.
My name is Ted Anderson I lived two doors away from Jack in South Philly, we were best friends and played football and baseball together Jack played shortstop and I played third base. I have been thinking about him recently for no particular reason so I Googled him and feel so bad that he has passed. I last saw Jack 32 years ago when my wife threw a 50th birthday party for me and Jack attended, I teared up when I saw Jack at the party and I am very emotional now after learning of his death but have very fond memories of our boyhood together. We drifted apart over the years which I really regret now I am so sorry as I had a faint hope I would locate him.
My deepest sympathy to his family.

I just heard today about Jacks death. I was a colleague of his at Landon for many years. What a fabulous teacher he was. He genuinely cared about each and every student. Jack, Al Symons, and I team taught the 5th grade. We met every morning at 7am to talk about the students. We all had different styles of teaching, but we were together as a team. The boys were better off for it. We retired together in 2000, went our seperate ways, and now hes gone but not forgotten. Mr Cabry, RIP
I remember those giddy days in 1976 when you two first met. You delighted in each other’s company and quickly established a firm bond that has lasted for four decades.
Those early days were full of discoveries and shared interests.
You spent those early days making discoveries about each other. You soon learned you were both educators who liked to travel during your summers off. One interest Jack had to pull you into was the world of house investments which turned out to be the right direction for you both.
Buying your first beach house in 1977 didn’t turn out too badly for your families either. Jack’s Mom and Dad enjoy their stays in September when they had the place to themselves. My kids and I had many happy times at that first beach house. Megan is still sore at you for selling “her” house. Hard to believe that we spent so much time there without a TV or even a phone but we did and had fun in the bargain. Still have fun happy memories of those times.
The kids looked forward to our Christmas Eves together and your generous gifts to them (except for the sleeping bags, mea culpa). Jack was more interested in the dinner menu of chicken and dumplings but food was an important part of his life. In fact the boy from South Phillie had a lifelong aim to remain a part of the culture that shaped him but also to expand beyond it to include classical music, distant places, good food, and fine wine.
Jack was a large man who aimed always to grow granded in all ways but never to lose the fun in life while doing it. His story of growth, love and happiness was only possible because you supported and enabled his plans and dreams. Joanne, you and Jack forged a strong team and I congratulate you!
