John and family

I am so sorry to hear of you dads passing. John, he was a great man. I knew him most my life from the time we played little league together to growing up through school and the original Kegs n Eggs in your back yard. He will be an angel watching over you all. From my family to yours during this tough time.

My prayers & sympathy go out to all the loved ones of Jack's. I am so glad that I got to visit with him at our reunion because life has a way of separating old acquaintances for although we are apart in our hearts we still care about old friends.Take care and know you are not alone. Love Peggy

Jack was among my very first students when I started teaching at Naugatuck High.
It's funny how those are the ones I remember best. Francine and Jack were the perfect high school sweethearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you mourn the loss of your beloved Jack.
