I've known Jack for about five years, while he was president of the Veterans Association, which I currently manage.  I have so enjoyed my time spent with Jack on various projects at Veterans Plaza and the best memories are of him behind the chair cutting someone's hair.  We will miss him greatly!

We have known and loved Jack for 21 years. He has been a friend and is like a brother. Our constant confidant and advisor "Oh how we will miss him"

I knew cousin John by his nickname Duke.  We haven't seen him for many years but there are a lot of fond menories of our childhood and family gatherings.  Our hearts go out to Aunt Alberta, Marlene & Chuck, and Duke's family.

I only knew Jack for six months but am blessed to have had that chance.  Jack said to me on our second meeting that "the first time I saw your eyes, I almost forgot my own name."  I will keep that with me forever!  Ride Free Jack!

I met Jack through his best friend, Geovani and his nephew Frank. Our time together was short, but sweet. He was such a laid back, calm, sensitive, friendly man. You are missed, Jack!

John Micheal Paris - I always told you that you have a beautiful name.  That beautiful name matched the beautiful person you were.  You will be loved and missed by all who knew you, and you will always have a place in my heart.  You're in heaven now, so please say hello to my dad for me.

Jared and Danny - your father had a tremendous amount of love for you both.  He was so proud of both of you and spoke of you often.

Jersey Jack....was always so good to me....unassuming, gentle, and kind...it was so important for him to be a good person and do the right thing....I was so happy to see his adventurous side come to life, he definitely deserved to enjoy himself...I'm so sorry for Danny & Jared...he was so proud of you both....you were so loved...I'll miss you Jack....

I've known Jack for about 4 yrs and enjoyed our conversations about Charlotte Co. and the politics here.  Jack always shot straight and never let you get away with anything, he will be truly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time and he will always be remembered.

I've known Jack for 21 years.  He was one of the first people I met when I moved here and the only barber to cut my hair since I've lived here.  I'm gonna miss our monthly conversations...you had a lot of insight!  Good Bye, Jack.

Duke, although we were separated  by distance you are and will always be close to our hearts,your absence will leave a hole in our family, say hello to partner for us. Danny and Jared, your Dad will forever love you with all his heart in death as he did in life, you were his life. We love you both.

We are deeply saddend by the passing of John. He was someone I looked foward to seeing for my monthly cut; and for Linda, a good man to work with on the Association board. We will miss him.

To My Aquarian Friend, Jack, father of my sons, once upon a time husband and lover - thanks for reminding us to live this blessed earthly life - to the fullest.

A poem from me to you - June 2008

Imagine
...you came and went treading so softly 

upon the earth, 

never truly wanting to take more than you gave...

footprints nowhere to be found 
yet appearing everywhere 
through timeless space

and on the faces of many you met along your path, your journey through time.

I'll remember you always through the smiles of our children and cherish the times we can claim as ours, as a family, of precious moments of joy and love entwined with moments of tears and anguish... 

never to be forgotten 
yet never to be remembered...

for we are now walking on your time...endless and free.

Imagine that... 

"And so it goes" Billy Joel

Peace
your past wife many moons ago & the mother of your sons...
Sherri your flower

I will miss Jacks spirit,when he touched the Living God templed with in him,Living Water flowed from the depth of his being,refreshing all.
I will miss that daily washing.                  In Him.

Dear Jack, Just a personal note to say that I was deeply, deeply shocked to read of your passing. After all my searching to find a good, friendly, gentleman barber you've left me and us searching again. You've left us too soon buddy! I hope they have Harley's in heaven so you can enjoy your ride. You are and will be missed!

To your boys, your Dad was looking forward to his trip west. He was proud of you both.

As former neighbors of Jack we are truly sadden by his sudden passing.  Our memories are of our chidren playing together as they were growing up in our quiet neighborhood as well as Jack and the kids walking their dog Jazmine.  We know that Jack will watch over Daniel & Jared as we know God will watch over them as well.

Jersey Jack we will miss you. My son Michael only wanted to get haircut from Jack. Jack was the only one my son ever trusted to touch his hair for both formal and informal events. He was a loving father and neighbor who cared for everyone he knew. Whether he was home, at the barbershop, or taking a ride on his motorcycle Jack was always enjoying himself and living life to his fullest. It is sad to think of life without him, but we must endure. We know you are in a better place now, and will continue to share your love wherever you may be. We will never forget all you have done for us.

To the Paris Family...Our heart goes out to all of you for the loss of Duke.  It has been so many years since I have seen him but all the times as children still live within my hearts Mike's a Cousin All our prayers and blessings that all the love and wonderful memories help you all thru the days and wrap warmly around you now and forever.  We are so certain him and cousin Albert Michael have rejoined forces in Heaven passing with in 2 weeks of each other.  To Dukes son's we have never had the honor to meet with you but know you are being sent many prayers and hugs from New Jersey.....

Cousin Michael and wife Connie

My son, Duke, was a kind, loving, gentle son, father and brother.  My heart is full of pain and sorrow.  I love you Duke and miss you more than my words can express.  Until we meet again, all my love, Your Mom.

My dearest Duke, my brother, my best friend.  God blessed me with such a kind, loyal, gentle, sincere brother.  Thank you for your Godly soul and spirit.  My heart aches with pain from my loss.  Look down upon your family and friends and watch over and care for us with your pure soul as you did when you walked upon this earth.  Fly free, my beloved.  Lovingly now forever and beyond.
