Jack enriched the lives of so many through his commitment to preservation and mission centered organizations. He always had a kind word and an infectious smile that would light up a room. He will be missed. Women & Infants and Butler Hospitals were enriched from his efforts. My deepest sympathy to the entire Gold family. Former colleague - Karen Davie

Jack has been a dear friend, wonderful colleague and amazing source of strength me for years. I will miss his zest for life, his optimism, his considerable leadership skills, his genuine kindness, his love for family, his constant and continual support. What joy he found in life! My memories are filled with images of the joy he found in singing with The Salt and Peppers in New Haven and of the vitality that he brought to Board meetings.

I met Jack when I was an administrator at the School of Management. The School was new and originally had about 48 students, and they were all experienced, bright and full of spirit; ready to change the world. Jack did bring change to so many communities not to mention people’s lives. He was a gentle, soft-spoken giant. He left his mark, and we (I) will never forget him.

My deepest sympathies to Jack's family on his passing. As his co-worker at Care New England - I greatly enjoyed Jack's energy, wit, and wisdom and I was very fond of him. His impact on all the organizations he was involved throughout his life was a real tribute to the impact he had on people. Jack was a good, decent soul who will be greatly missed. Tim Conley

So sad and shocked to open up the Reformer and read about my old friend, Jack. My thoughts are with you Eileen, Carmela and all your family. I have so many wonderful memories. Very grateful that we got together a few years ago and were able to catch up and take a last ride together in Mary’s old car.

I became friends with Jack in 1978 when we worked together in MS and we remained friends over the years despite geographical distance. I was so happy to have seen him this September when I was passing through Providence. I still tell people about the hilarious practical jokes he played on me and which I fell for every time! In addition to making me laugh, Jack was a valued friend, kind and giving, and way ahead of his timein many things He helped me drive a truck and car to Cincinnati when I left MS, introduced me to NPR (hard to believe that the station I listen to every day, I had never heard of in 1978)and he was the first person I knew to paint his walls gray! (now the in color). There will no be a Christmas henceforth that I will not this of him and miss him. Adele Cramer

My condolences to Jack's family and friends. I can't believe I just learned about Jack's passing today (May 11) and very saddened by the news. Jack was one of those special people whom I didn't know terribly well but connected with a few times over the years in Providence. He was head of PPS at a time when a few of us were helping to renovate a grand local middle school rather than have it razed and built from scratch. Jack's involvement was instrumental in having the city restore that building to its former glory. Last time I spoke with Jack was probably at the Woonie River ride, an annual fundraiser ride through the watershed. He was delightful to talk with as usual, and made me happy that he was again living in Providence (after his time in SF). He's someone I had hoped to keep running into around the city and will miss him.

To a great friend, neighbor and individual. Miss you, Jack. Most of all I will miss our funny conversations about all sorts of stuff. Take good care, pal. Save a seat for me!
