Sabrina, I'm sorry for your loss. Once upon a time, in a seemingly different life, when McDonald's was our world, friends were dear and plentiful, laughter was constant, and giving you a Winnie The Pooh pin for Christmas brought me so much joy, there was a young lady who was my very first crush, Sabrina. And Sabrina loved her father so much. A single father with a home full of children. Many men would have ran from such a situation or depended on someone else to raise the children, while dropping in every once in a while. Not Jack, Jack was a real man. A good man, a caring man, a man whose world revolved around his children. Always food on the table, clothes on their backs and a roof over their head. I met him on occasion and he was always very kind to me, but most of what I know, was told to me by his loving daughter. She beamed with pride when talking about her Dad. You want to see the most beautiful sight in the world, have a conversation about Jack,with Sabrina, and that smile could always light up the room. I wish I had a time machine to take us back to 1997, Jack would still be here, Ralphie would still be here, and we would all still have our future ahead of us. Unfortunately, we are stuck in 2024, having experienced many more losses and tragedies than we care to mention. Sabrina, your Dad is still with you every day, I know that. He is with you in spirit and he is with you through your children. Stay the strong woman you've always been and if you ever need an old friend to talk to when things hard, that won't judge you, my number is 929 218 3240. Thank you Jack for showing us how a Dad should be, and for giving the world such wonderful children that have become even better adults. Rest In Peace and Sabby, even if we haven't spoken in 20 years, you will always be a dear friend of mine, and I'll always be a phone call away. Denis Dugan

I just happened to think of Jack this morning. He just popped into my head. He was always smiling, and always kind and funny. We had a great professional relationship, and we I regarded Jack as a friend. It was a pleasure to help him with his back problems and I was thankfully able to help him. I am very very sorry to learn that he has passed. He reminds me of Brooklyn the way it was. The way it used to be growing up there. All of his attention went to his children. I thought that was unique and I understood that, as I too feel the same of mine. Dr. Sirota

Jack was my patient for many years while I practiced in Bensonhurst at 86th. Street and Bay Pkwy. He was a delight to have as a patient and a friend. He ALWAYS put his kids first. It was always about them. What a great gentle soul of a man. Thank you Jack for allowing me the privilege of being your Chiropractor for so many years. Rest easy, my friend. Dr. Sirota
