Condolences

Word of Jack's passing just reached us today. Pam and I send condolences, prayers, and the glow of fond memories to Jack's immediate and extended family. We knew Jack most directly during our own formative years as young adults, as across-the-street neighbors, and he was an important formative influence as we transitioned to independent lives, careers, and our own family. Those memories and life lessons will take on renewed meaning, as we think of our connections with Jack and do things in our own lives that we hope would make him smile. He has earned his eternal reward, and we appreciate the opportunity to have known him during his life's journey.

Time spent with Jack was always enjoyable at Rotary Confrences or Tri County meetings. Jack was a Professional and a wonderful credit to to his profession. God Bless Jack and all of his Family.

To Jack's loving family,
Condolences to Jack's family from a longtime family friend. Jack was, in many ways, responsible for getting my father involved in the funeral business and because of that, I am as well. Jack and Laverne came to my wedding (yup, still married to the same girl!) in 1984 and Jack and I had a private conversation that I have never forgotten. I have always respected Jack and wish him eternal rest in peace. Bless you all.

In the short time I knew Jack he was such a wonderful man, always happy and smiling Rest Easy Jack

To Don Edmunds and Jack's family I would like to offer my sincerest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Joe Martin Past President of NYSFDA.

Please accept our heartfelt thoughts and prayers for each of you, at this very difficult time. But before looking to tomorrow, and a life without Jack/Dad/Grandpa, take the time to revisit all the yesterdays. Think about the laughter, the warmth, the guidance, the strength and all those other things that made him an integral part of your lives. Hold those memories close. God Bless you all.

My deepest condolences to the entire Friedel family. John was the kindest and best of men and a wonderful person. I will miss him.

Your father was a comfort to me with his sincere caring when my son died. I know you will forever have him in your hearts.
