John J. McCarthy

Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about your dad, I never had chance to meet him, But can tell he was a wonderful man and father just by talking to you and being around you. I know how much he meant to you. My heart goes out to you and your mom, You both are in my prayers.

Dear Linda and Amanda, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. May God bless you.

Dear Jackie, You are one loved man! While I always knew the love that Linda's family and our family had for you as immense, it was all the people that I had forgotten about or didn't expect to see... some old high school friends... some old co-workers... our childhood neighbors... were at your services or were here writing the most kind words. It filled my heart with Joy to see the display of love & support from all of the people you have touched throughout your life. You also reaffirmed for me how lucky I am. No matter what "wrongs" happen in this life, they pale in comparison to the love, beauty and joy that I have received in my life. I am lucky to have had you as my brother all these years. I am lucky to see you in Amanda's eyes. Everywhere I turn, I see something to be grateful for. So even in passing, you are still teaching me and guiding me... and I am thankful for that. I'll be writing to you here from time to time as a way of staying close to you. I look forward to the next time.... and seeing you in my dreams. IBLYA, Daniel

You were always there for Bill through all the good and bad times. A friend such as yourself is truly God's blessing. We will miss being your "pit stop".

Dear Dan and the entire McCarthy family, I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Jack. I have fond childhood memories of growing up as a next door neighbor to your family, playing football and baseball on the golf course and basketball in the backyard with Jack and Dan. I can recall sitting in the bleachers at WTHS, enthralled at watching Jack perform the pole vault during his track meets. I also recall the fun Jack brought to the night when he was asked to come over to babysit. He always had a smile and kind greeting when he came back to Belmar Court to visit his parents with Linda and Amanda. My heartfelt condolences to Linda, Amanda and the entire family. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family... Daryl Dawson, Class of '78

Dear Linda, Amanda and family, We are deeply sorry for your loss. Jack was a great guy and will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. "Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear."

Jack always strengthened those around him through the strength of his own character. He made a person proud to know him. May I convey my most sincere condolences to Linda, Amanda, and Jack's family and friends.

I am so saddened to hear about Jack's passing. I have not seen him since high school. My memory of him is being a very sweet and nice person. My condolences to you and your family. Rest in peace Jack. Terri Falconiero Leahy Class of "1978"

We are greatly saddened by your loss. We got know Jack during his time at SunGard from 2004 to 2008. Jack was a good friend and a very caring individual. We will miss him very much and will always have fond memories of the times we spent with him. Our condolences, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cinquina

Jack is a great credit to Washington Township class of 1978. He will be missed by all that knew him. He has touched many lives and our prayers will be with all that knew him. He will be remembered and missed. God Bless.

Happy Birthday Jack! You are with me each and every day. I know you are helping to guide me through this crazy life and I am listening. Just know that I love you... always have, always will... and I look forward to the day when I can embrace you again, play 18, and grab a beer. IBLYA, Daniel

Dear Linda:\ My deepest condolences on the loss of your husband John. Rich and Marylee are geat people and loved John deeply, my heart goes out to you and the family. God Bless Vic Masi & Family

Dan and Yo, You both have my condolences and are in my prayers. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. God Bless you, Jennifer

I never thought I would have to live in a world without Jack. But I will, and with joy, dancing as if my life depended on it, singing to Springsteen with pure abandonment, cheering with my heart and soul no matter how my Philadelphia teams disappoint me, because that's what Jack would expect of me. I can do no less. Peace dear brother. IBLYA.

When my brother was little, we would sit on our front porch on Flora Lane and he would play dolls with me. Well, really, I would play Barbies and his GI Joe would keep my Barbies safe from all imagined enemies poised to attack. I tried to repay his gallantry by untying him after my sister lassoed him to the bannister. He was always very appreciative. My brother was a gentleman, a man with a good heart. He loved Amanda and Linda and his friends and family. He was sentimental, a true Irishman with a poem in his heart and a smattering of blarney on his lips. I am brokenhearted at the loss of my brother and I long to hear his voice again or his laugh. I will someday. I know he is with my mon and dad and my nana and my pop and my Uncle Bud - they are all laughing, hitting a few balls and at peace. God Bless You Jack - I love you.

Jack was a warm, funny, and helping person at Optimark. I don't think I've ever met anyone so willing to teach, while letting you think you're smart… Jack is someone to admire and emulate, a "mensch". It was good to run in to Jack over the years, and I will miss him.

I was taken back when I heard of Jack's passing. Jack coached me for 2 yr on the 125lb football team in Wash Twp. Though I have not seen Jack since those days27-28 yr ago I was suddenly flooded with memories of Jack always standing at the front of the bus driving to away games constantly pumping us up. He seemed to know everyone assignment on offense when someone had a question. I also remeber that Jack, John DelRosso, and Fred Brenlinger also coaches were always playing softball in late Augest and would miss the 1st couple practices, even though we would watch at times since our practices and their games were at the high school. I regret not seeing Jack again, but reading what others wrote, I can tell he lived a wonderful life and had a positive effect on everyone he came in contact with. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Joe DeMarco Asst Football Coach Washington Twp HS

Linda, I am so sorry for you and Amanda and your family. Every time I saw Jack at Mario and Lisa's house he was always so friendly and pleasant and fun. I know he was always a good husband and father. You are all in my prayers.

What can I say except I know you will be missed. As most have already written, I guess you where a hell of a worker. Never worked with Jack except around our houses I did most of the work and Jack would say that looks great. He tried to teach me how to golf but after ten years never tought me how to beat him. Many times we left Eagles games after a loss without speaking a word to each other for at least an hour then we would look foward to the next game. Eagles partner, Sixers partner, Golf partner, Great friend, Jackson I will always remember the great times we had. Love you like a brother. Bye for now bud.

Merry Christmas Jackie boy. Miss you Love you always!

Hey Jackie... I took Yolanda to her PT appointment she got herself a new knee and when we came out of the building the side walk was blinding. It immediately took me back to the Troc in Philly and our infamous happy hour with Kat & Sean Gary. I love being surprised with memories of you buddy. Keeps you close, ya know? IBLYA, Daniel

When my brother, Frank Nave, first told me about Jack's illness and eventually his passing, I was shocked and saddened. Although I would only run into Jack at family gatherings and affairs, I always appreciated his outgoing personality, his zest for life, and his friendliness. Jack's passing is a tragic lost, and my heart goes out to his wife Linda and his daughter Amanda. And Jack will always be remembered in my prayers. May his soul rest in peace. Paul Nave

Can't believe it's been over a year now Jackie. I have a picture of you right next to my desk that I look at everyday. You are always with me. IBLYA, Daniel

Happy Birthday Jack and Happy Anniversary! We spent the night together with family to keep Linda busy. She is tearful but can still laugh at many funny stories we have to tell about you. The family misses you dearly and as I can see your brother also does. Keep an eye over all of us and when it is our time, we'll be there to reunite with you. You can continue to move the RC car towards the cigars if you'de like, that was pretty freaky, but comforting! It's nice to know we can still feel your presence at times! We love you :

I only had the pleasure of knowing Jack on a professional level, but on that level, he was one of the best colleagues I've ever had, and one of the finest people I've ever known. He was always generous with his time, however limited, and with his knowledge, however vast.

My condolences to the McCarthy family. It was with shock and disbelieve that I heard of the passing of my friend, Jack. I have known Jack for over seven years, first from his consulting days for the Nasadq UTP Operating Committee and then during his most recent consulting engagement at the NYSE. Through this period we maintained contact and would meet up for lunch, drinks or coffee occasionally. I remember his love for good wine, a passion which we shared, and his efforts to help when I became unemployed. I still find it difficult to believe the a man who was so full of life is no longer with us. I pray that you find the strength to bear this great loss. Jack, may you rest peacefully. Oscar Onyema

I am extremely saddened and shocked to hear this news. My condolences to his family. Rest in eace Jack.

Dear Jack, The one thing I remember most is you carrying me up the stairs at your mom's house every night with my broken leg. Crazy I know! Thank you. And how can I forget all the fond memories of our happy hours together with the family, all the rough house basketball games at the family parties, and just seeing you become a great husband and father. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love always, Sean Gary

There are no words to describe how truly sorry I feel about Jack's passing. I've met so many people through the years, but very few that I've admired as I did Jack. A rock of a man, full of wisdom, knowledge and a true passion for life. We will all miss you my friend. In my line of work, we put on a lot of phony smiles when people walk through our doors. But you, Jack, made those smiles real and our days that much brighter.

Hey Jackie, Yesterday was odd without you. 9/11had become the day you'd reach out to me no matter what and check on me. I missed your emails and your voice. You are always on my mind & in my heart. IBLYA, Dan

Missing you bro. IBLYA

Just thinking about you today Jack. St Patty's Day just didn't feel the same this year. We hadn't spent a St Patty's day together in years... but there were always the memories of the ones we had and the hope of more to come. I still have the memories at least :- I love you Jack. I think of you fondly and often. Daniel

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jack's passing. I was fortunate to have worked with Jack at Optimark albeit all too briefly. I always found Jack to be extremely sharp, caring, insightful and always armed with that sharp Irish wit. The world had far too few Jack McCarthys. To Linda and Amanda, please know that Jack touched so many lives in a positive way: the world was a better place to have had him and a sadder place to have lost him far too soon. You are in our thoughts in prayers. God bless you.

Mrs. McCarthy & Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. McCarthy. Throughout the many years that your home was my second home I can remember the laughter and memories that I shared with him. He was a beautiful man with a huge heart. Whether me and Amanda were playing in the snow, going to the mall or sitting at the Linc, Mr. McCarthy was always right by our side with a joke and some good advice. The world was and is a better place because of him and it breaks my heart to hear of his passing. I am praying for the both of you and I would like you to know that both my family and myself are here for you if you need Anything at all. I love you both very much and I hope that God remains close by your side in this, your time of need. Sincerely, Jennifer

Jack was the big brother I never had. He fulfilled that role with wisdom, grace, patience and humor. He led by example in his love of family and friends, his devotion to Linda and Amanda and his love of life. Whether it was a trip with the families to the Shore, an adult trip to wine country or through the fine dining establishments of Chicago, everyone had a good time with Jack because he always had a great time. Professionally, he exemplified excellence. And here too, he led by example. He made even the most arduous projects seem easier and always made you want to perform your best work. His motivational "team dinners" were legendary! My deepest condolences to Linda and Amanda on your untimely loss. Those of us who have loved and lost him will never forget him and he will continue to lead by example in our collective memories. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

I had only known Jack for a couple of years, but I didn't need more than five minutes before I knew I was glad we had met. At one point he had encouraged a few of us that worked with him to check out "The Last Lecture". He talked about Randy Pausch's will to make his dreams and goals reality, seize the day and live life to its fullest while encouraging the dreams of others. I remember thinking at the time that Jack had a similar spirit about him. Jack always seemed to me to be someone who truly lived - he worked hard, but cherished nothing more than time with his family and friends. He had a knack for encouraging those around him to believe we could pretty much tackle anything. He was a leader. He was a teacher. Sadly, even in death he continues to teach by reminding us of a sentiment that Pausch had expressed in his lecture - "Time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think." Your time here was far too short Jack. You're truly missed.

Amanda--I spoke with Christina who told me of your father's passing. I was so saddened by the news. I hope you and your Mother are doing okay. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. God Bless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Linda and Amanda -Jack was a great husband and father and also a wonderful nephew who was truly loved by his family and all of us. We will miss you Jack but we know that you are in heaaven with your Mother & Father and in very good hands. I think back to the many good times we had at your Mom's and how all the kids use to play ball & get into trouble with your neighbors and your Mom came out and got everythng settled. I remember your wedding and the day your daughter was born your Mom was so very happy - Amanda was always special to her Grandmother - she loved her unconditionally just as she loved you and Linda. We will always remember all the good times and the golf, of course, and the times at Myrtle Beach. You will always be remembered in our prayers and in our lives. May you rest in peace Jack with all the wonderful people who are in heaven and once in a while look down and bless us with an Irish Blessing. We loved you. Uncle Joe and Aunt Joan

Linda/Amanda and Family: Sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was a great friend over the 15+ years that we have known each other and worked together. We will all miss him. Judy and I send our condolences and hope to be at the services next week. John

Linda and Amanda, Jack and I shared many wonderful experiences together in our work at OptiMark. He was one of the finest professionals and greatest gentlemen ever, a true gem of a man. May God comfort you in your loss.

I am very sad to hear about Jack's passing but want everyone to know that Jack enriched our lives and was always a can do and willing fellow worker. He always approached life with a positive attitude. We will all miss him greatly. The world is a better place because of him. With respect, Bill Lupien

Dear Linda & Amanda -- Just from the short while of knowing Jack it was apparent that he was full of love and life. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. It was an honor knowing the both of you as well as caring for Jack. I have never met such loving people. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Heather Sullivan, RN

Jack was a brilliant Professional. His accomplishments were numerous. At all times he was a gentleman, he conducted himself with integrity and treated overyone with respect. He was my friend. He will be missed.

A man that will truly be missed. Jack was a good friend and a true family man. I'll miss getting together in Chicago and NY while shooting the breeze about family, work and sports. My condolences to the entire family

I am deeply saddened by Jack's passing. I feel honored to have known him and called him "friend". My most sincere condolences to Linda, Amanda, and the family.

Dear Linda and Amanda, There are no words capable of expressing how badly I feel or that can mitigate the terrible sense of loss you must feel. So rather than try to cobble together words which must be inadequate, I thought I'd just share a few memories of the time he and I spent together. Frpm late August, 2000 until early 2003, he and I worked on a project together in Chicago. Until then, we had met only once and briefly. The night before the project kickoff, we were to have dinner together and get to know one another a bit before presenting ourselves to the client. Somehow wires got crossed. I sat in the bar at the Italian Village stewing over just where the hell this McCarthy guy was. Meanwhile, Jack was sitting in the bar at La Strada stewing about just where the hell this Byrne character was. Eventually, we did get together at La Strada and stewed over just where the hell the third member of our tight-knit team might be hiding. It was not our last bit of bar sitting. The project was never easy and often difficult. Nothing like a bit of adversity to determine who you can count on and who you can't. We had started out as colleagues, a bit miffed at each other over the pre-kickoff misunderstanding, but after some long evenings of dining and bar sitting, we gradually morphed into friends, then good friends and finally great friends. Before very long I came to consider Jack as one of my best friends - and always will. Jack worked hard, long and effectively - a true professional. And he "relaxed" like a man possessed. He practiced fine dining like he feared it might soon be outlawed; he drank fine wine like a man who feared prohibition was just around the corner; he smoked those after dinner cigars like it was an Olympic event; and during those two and a half years, he was homesick like he'd been in solitary in a POW camp forever. He lived and worked with a passion, with a vengeance. But at the end of the night, and we spent many a long night together, it was always Linda and Amanda. How much he missed them and how he just wanted to be home. Family was his lodestone, his true north. A recall attending his mother's funeral. I think he was truly surprised how many people were there to support him, how many friends he truly had. A man doesn't make many real friends in a lifetime, but he was a real friend to me - one of the best. And I only hope he regarded me in the same way. He'll be missed, but as long as memory remains, McCarthy will remain my friend. It came as no surprise that "It's a Wonderful Life" was his favorite movie. We spent a long liquid night one December discovering that it was high on both our lists. To Jack McCarthy, the richest man in Glassboro! And good luck, Clarence, I imagine you've got your hands full right about now.

Dear Jackie, While my heart mends from losing you my thoughts, love & deep condolences are with Linda & Amanda. I love them as I love you, now & forever. As a child you were my "big brother". You loved me, tortured me, made me laugh & helped guide me through life. As a teenager you were not just my brother but many times my coach. You never let me quit. Some of the most valuable lessons in this life were taught to me by you & I am forever grateful. As a man you are my friend & mentor. We didn't always understand each other, but that's was OK because we always accepted one another - flaws and all. While I will always wish we had more time together I know every moment we spent together was fun filled with stories, sports & simple, direct conversation. I love you Jackie, always have, always will. I know you are with me now more than you could possibly ever be while walking this earth & I find tremendous comfort in that. IBLYA, Daniel

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jack's family and friends. Jack was a wonderful man and will be missed tremendously! He was a true professional who led by example. He had so much passion for life, his family, and work. I enjoyed working with him and learning from someone who had so much to share. He always spoke of his family and it was clear how close they were and the enormous love they shared. So many fond memories of an incredible man....May you rest in peace Jack!

My deepest sympathy goes out to Jacks family and friends. Although I haven't seen him since High School I do remember him being a part of our " Washington Township Class of 1978" and sharing the fun times that we cherrished as youths. I am honered that I was one of his classmates. May you rest in peace Jack.

Linda, Amanda, I was shocked and deeply saddened to here of Jack's passing. He was truely a great guy and will be missed by many. I hope the well wishes by so many will comfort you durning your time of grief. Love Rob, Kathy and Venuti Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. Becky Bacalzo-Joyce and family Class of 1978

Dear Linda and Amanda, Our hearts our broken. I prayed and I prayed again, but God had other plans. However, we are grateful for a wonderful family like yours, who have entered our lives. Now, I pray that God will give you and Amanda the comfort and peace. May God Bless Jack and all his family. Love You! Darlene and Carl Capasso

Linda and Amanda I always considered your family close to mine. I always cared about you and your family. I perceived myself as Jack's friend, I fell close to Jack depsite the cicumstances, I cared for him and his family. I am so deeply saddened to hear that he is gone. Jack is a good man, he lives on through our memory and he is with GOD. Linda, Amanda, I pray for you , for God to bring you peace in these difficult times. My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Nicholas Lamberti

Jack and your family were true friends to me and that means more than you can imagine. If there is ANYTHING I can do for your family please let me know. With deepest sympathy, Nicholas Lamberti Jr. Nicholas and MaryAnn Lamberti

In my line of work I have run into more people than most. Some bad, some good, a few really terrible people and of course a few special people that I will never forget for their kindness, generiousity and overall attitude to others. And your father is and will always be in the that last catergory. I want everyone who views this to know that Jack McCarthy was literally one of the 10 nicest, most sincere and authentic people I have ever known. The lucky ones who have ever met him know this already and I consider myself extremely honored just to have known him.

We are so sorry to hear about Jack. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are sorry that we are not there to help you get through this. God will give you strength.Sincerely, Tony and Moreen

Jack, My condolences go out to your family. You and your family will always be in my prayers.Miss you, love you, Fred

My thoughts and prayers are w/ you and your family.

Jack, I will miss you, you were a wonderful friend, a mentor, a colleague I could always count on, a true professional. You taught me more than I can describe here. I miss our conversations whether they were work related, political discussions or just catching up. Like an older brother you were always there for me, guiding me both personally and professionally. My condolences go out to your family. You, Linda and Amanda will always be in my prayers. Rest in peace Jack, Miss you, love you, - Tal.

Jack was always an inspiration, funny and smart, down to earth, kind, and a good friend. We first met at OptiMark and worked again together at Archipelago and then at NYSE, close to 15 years together in the markets at companies all around the country - from Colorado to Chicago to Jersey to Wall Street. Professionally, he helped build a revolution in how stocks are traded. Personally, Jack lifted you up and made you laugh wherever you were. He had great integrity in a world which needs it. He showed you how to be a pro, how to be a friend, and how to be a good soul. We'll all miss him.

Dear Jack: You were always such an inspiration to me. I never had a big brother, but you certainly filled that role. You and your family were such an integral part of my youth. I'll never forget the football games against Dan and Dave on the golf course, the family parties at your house, basketball at the Murphy's and the fun and joy that you brought to me, my mom, my dad and my brother. I also want to thank you for the inspiration you provided from your undersized football days at Township, your loving marriage to Linda, your joy you took in your daughter Amanda and your thriving career and drive to succeed. Although we both went our separate ways, I always looked forward to our talks at the family parties...you always made time for me and always made an effort to show how much you cared for my family. You will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Love, Don

Dear Linda and Amanda, There is nothing we can do, to make him come back, there are no words we can say that can replace the words you long to hear There are no answers we can give, although how we would love to, that will satisfy our questions. There is not another soul on this earth that can ever replace his. And, there is no love anyone can offer that will ever replace the love you shared with Jack. No one can promise your broken heart will ever be complete from this absolute tragedy. No one will lie and tell you Jack will come back, but in essence, Jack never really left. Jack hears you when you speak; Jack loves you no matter the distance. He is in some way with you in every step you take, in everything you do, and in every beat of your heart. â??Jack is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him" He has impacted all our lives here as an outstanding person, both professionally and personally, and as such, we will always feel his presence as well. With Love from your Friends at Objective Concepts, LLC. George Felber David Lautz Mike Shelton Lois Felber Carlos Suarez Mark Feuer

Linda and Amanda, Please count me among the many who so admired and enjoyed working with Jack. What a terrific man - kind, funny, smart, and so capable. His great personality and mix of skills made even the most challenging projects more enjoyable and I will be forever grateful to him for his support and mentoring during the time we worked together. He definitely leaves this world a better place. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With love and respect, Cathy Fabiszak

Jack you were a wonderful husband and father. My thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and Amanda. You were also part of this wonderfully crazy family that will miss you deeply. Love You!

I had the pleasure of working with Jack for a short while; he was a wonderful man who treated everyone with respect and professionalism. Jack was a true gentleman and all of us in Toronto who worked with him are greatly saddened by his passing. Our deepest condolences to Jack's family, our heart goes out to you.

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss. God Bless. Marty CormicanWTHS-1978

For the first half of my life I can hardly recall a time when we were apart - football on the golf course, welt ball, and the “family show”. We tortured Dan and Mike, danced and sang, shot hoops, dove off the pier, inhaled the Irish Pub and Jersey shore, and got in lots of trouble, laughing through it all. Heck, there was a time when Linda wanted to divorce me! Then we drifted. I see that you were a good and loving husband and father; and that you touched many people with your big heart. I assumed no less. But today feels like the day I heard John Lennon had died and had to finally admit that the Beatles were never getting back together. You were an inextricable and indispensable part of my life fabric. The memories are so rich, hysterical, and full of life that this is indeed surreal. I hope that you found peace and happiness. I hope you passed that on to Linda and Amanda. And I hope, someday, to see you through them. Goodbye my old friend. You are missed.

I met John J. McCarthy when he worked on the Archipelago project some 6-9 years back. I was an apprentice at the time, just getting my professional feet wet in the financial arena. As we worked together he became someone I respected and someone who took it upon himself to take the time to guide me as to some of the do's and don'ts regarding my professional career. Our paths crossed again at the NYSE and Jack was not short on words of advice and encouragement as a professional colleague and friend. My condolences go out to the family of Jack McCarthy. Rest in peace Jack, you will be missed.

Dear Linda and Amanda, Our hearts, prayers and thoughts go out to you and your entire family. There are NO WORDS to express your loss. God speed and Bless you all at this very hard time. Love, Bob and Terri

Dear Jake, I tried to write this five times. Each time, I couldn't believe I was writing it. I can still hear your voice, your laugh. I have so many memories. The impact you had on my life, you never understood the depth. I was watching a Springsteen "making of" video on Thursday. Yeah, Thursday. And he was talking about the past and how the people in it are all "passengers in your car during your journey in life." And how no matter what happens, those people always stay in your car. You know, because they shape the person that you are. Doesn't matter if you see them everyday or haven't seen them in 20 years. They are always there. And sometimes they even drive! Well, I want you to know that not only are you "in my car", but every time I tee up a golf ball... every time I attempt to act... not only are you in my car, you are driving. I am proud to have known you, to have shared so much, to call you my friend. I will remember you always. Miss you always. Love you always. ~ Bonz

It is with shock and my deepest sympathy on hearing about Jack's passing. He was a true professional, incredibly personable and as smart and humble as anyone I have met in the business. He will truly be missed. God Bless

I will miss Jack, whom I will forever remember as a helpful colleague, patient teacher and good man. May God rest his soul.

I was Jack's nurse the last couple months, and I just wanted to pass along my condolences to Linda, Amanda, and the rest of their family. Jack and I never got to know each other well because I cared for him during his sickest days when he was unable to speak, but it was clear how much Jack was loved by the large numbers of family and friends that were always there to visit him and support Linda and Amanda. Linda rarely left his side, and endeared herself to all the staff on our unit. We were all extremely determined to get Jack past his illness, but God was ready to bring him home. On behalf of all the nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other personnel, we send our condolences, and hope that Linda and Amanda can find peace and comfort in this new year.

Jack was a kind, hardworking, conscientious and caring man who loved his family deeply. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace, Jack.

Jack was a real gentleman, a great colleague and a devoted family man. He will be missed. His passing is a tragedy for all that knew him. May he rest in peace.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
