Jack worked hard and was employed by Amtrak for the last 23 years. But he didn’t live to work, he worked so he could enjoy his passions, travelling, the beach, and, of course, his beloved NY Giants and the Red Sox. One of his favorite places to relax was Orient Beach in St. Martin and he would also head to Duxbury Beach whenever the sun was shining. He also enjoyed spending times with his many friends. He had a kind heart, a generous soul, a great laugh, a twinkle in his eye, and was someone you could always count on to show up and , of course, he dressed for the occasion. The famly would also like to thank all or your generous donations to his GO FUND ME PAGE and your outpouring of comfort and support.
