Daniel Lesinski wrote a sympathy message

“What a loss...Jack was part of a group of special men from Mendel High School. My father, Jerry Lesinski was also part of that group. I had known of "Jocko" since I was a child and was fortunate enough to know him much better over the last 10 years. Lots of golf, stories of the past, and maybe a few beverages. Jack sat next to me at my fathers funeral luncheon last October, along with Dan Lynch and Gerry Luzi. It was of great comfort to have the Gentlemen of Mendel there. Rest In Peace, Jocko”
