Elaine Kennedy (No Married Name) (1965)
One of the funniest, loyal, sweet friends a girl could have. I've thought of you many many times over the years, Jack. Thanks for being there for me, when I couldn't.
Howard Oaf (1965)
Jack was the most talented musician I have known in my many years of music. He was also truly a 'friend to all'. Not a week has gone by that he has not been in my thoughts. We had some great times together and he is very much missed by me and many others.
Kathy Summitt (Ennis) (1965)
Jack was the first of our class to pass away. As a result, I think it made reality set in for us. I think of him often because he was always jolly and made us laugh.
