I’m a former tenant @ his apt complex. Sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to Family and friends.
Jack has been in my life since I was 12 years old, I am now 64. He has always been the center of fun at any family event I have ever attended and there have been many. My children loved Jack just as all of us have. As adults, it was very important to them for their friends to meet their Uncle Jack.
We count on those close to us to always be there…..treasure everyday….that is all we have.
When Saint Peter called out jack’s name, I am sure he drove off with him in a big shiny Buick smiling ear to ear!
Cheers to my brother in law Jack!
Deanne and I extend our condolences and respect to Judy and the Schram family. Thank you Jack for being there for me during my Masonic Journey and have fond memories of the time spent with you at Shiloh Lodge 327, Tangier Shrine and the Scottish Rite.
We all lost a wonderful friend with the passing of Jack. He was an inspiration to all of us to stay Optimistic in times of trouble and to never dwell on the little problems of life, rather to focus on just how amazingly wonderful life is. Rest in Peace, my dear friend.
Please keep Jack’s wife, Judy, in your prayers. Judy has always provided Jack with a more than a partner and wife, she and their children have always been his reason for being, his reason for giving and the light of his life. Their lives are a little less light today with his passing. Help them to laugh again, because that is what Jack would want.
Jack is my friend and I will miss him dearly. When I leave this earth I only hope I leave one-third of the joy behind that Jack has. As an Optimist, Jack served the youth of our city with great joy. He truly brought life to every situation and I know he is looking down and smiling at all of us, knowing that HE knows the secret we are all hoping to find at the end of our life: You can’t take it with you unless you leave it behind…so Jack has left a great gift to all of us in his kindness, his joy, the love he showed to everyone and his undying humor. He will be missed. Sadly, sorely missed.
JUDY AND FAMILY, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU FAMILY AT THIS TIME. I SO ENJOYED JACKS FRIENDSHIP OVER THE YEARS THAT WE SPENT AT SCAFRA (SHRINE CIRCUS AND FUND RAISING ASSOCIATION). IT WAS ALWAYS A BRIGHT SPOT WHEN WE GOT TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER. DEBBIE RECALLED THE FUN WE HAD TOGETHER IN BANGOR MAINE LAST FALL AT OUR SEMINAR AND OUR SIDE TRIP TO BAR HARBOR. I ALSO SEND OUR CONDOLENCES FROM OUR SCAFRA OFFICERS AND FROM OUR LOCAL EL-RIAD SHRINE CIRCUS COMMITTEE. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
