When I think of Uncle Jack a huge smile comes to me. Uncle Jack had a smile that lit up the world and was accompanied by a beautiful laugh. Upon first meeting Uncle Jack one could be frightening by his size. He had no patience for bad service at a restaurant or unruly children. However, this man of great mass was a HUGE Teddy Bear. He gave the best hugs and was one of the warmest men I have had the privilege to know. He only demanded from others what he expected from himself. He gave more in life than he received. I hold many cherished memories of visits with him and Sue along with our recent visit this May 2019. I'll never forget our favorite "Sambuca test", sampling hot dogs from various restaurants on the same day, sleigh riding with the kids at the school, watching him eat salad out of a HUGE serving bowl, espresso mornings and chatting at the kitchen table with him during the day and evenings. The man that is bigger than life is now resting peacefully and I know Heaven just received the best angel ever! RIP Uncle Jack. We love you and miss you but will always cherish the wonderful gift of time you gave us. Love your niece Ileane.
