Jack, we were so fortunate to meet you and Debbie on a Celebrity cruise last year, and even luckier to share another beautiful voyage together just 2 months ago. The laughter and memories we created will be cherished forever!
This is so sad. I never expected to see this obituary.
Jack was a Berlin High School Class of ’74 classmate and an old friend. I was so happy to see him at our recent class get-together and have the chance to catch up. He was a hardworking guy who enjoyed a cold beer and the company of good friends.
To Debbie, Jack’s brother, family, and friends, may you cherish the many wonderful memories you shared with him. There are certainly a lot of them.
Rest in peace, my old friend.

I am so very sorry to read of Jack’s passing! As a fellow HS classmate, I remember Jack as a cute, funny and cheerful. My condolences to his loving family!
