I played  fast pitch softball with Jack at THE AMERICAN L EGION BALL PARK  .I WAS HIS CATCHER. He was a great pitcher he h ad this round house curve ball that he would throw that was hard to hit. HE PLAYED FOR THE CLEARWATER SOFTBALL TEAM.  I also follow him later and played for the BOMBERS 1971-1979.I talked to him about ordering shirts an other things from the BOMBERS I believed  he got some for his grand kids..I ALWAYS ENJOYED V TALKING TO HIM ABOUT SOFTBALL. BUCKY DE LA TORRE

I met him in 1967, started out calling him Mr. Thompson but it wasn't long before I was calling him Dad. Jacki & I were best friends & they always made me feel like one of their kids. I knew I was safe with them, I loved him very much

One of my earliest memories of Jack is, I was a child at a family event in Jack and Bobby's back yard  and hearing the sound of the ice cream churn going round and round with the crunching sound of the ice and salt.  I can't remember if it was electric or hand crank but Jack was there at the churn  making us all that sweet, creamy cold concoction.  Obvuously enjoying our looks of anticipation. If nothing else Jack enjoyed family and we enjoyed him. Always a ready smile and warm greeting. 
Jack is my uncle.  I'm not sure where the nick name came from but he called me "toodiva" (screw driver)  .  I will miss that greeting even though I'm 65 years old.  
The holidays, family events, and life will not be the same without Jack.  He will be missed but most certainly not forgotten. 

Have known Jack since way back in the late 40's at Plymouth Playground an Jefferson High School. I played on the same softball team of Sams Service Station around 52. I then joined the navy an came back to Tampa after 22 years. Last saw Jack in 99 when he attended my brothers  health request. He will be missed an a friend when you needed one. Rest in peace my friend.
