Jack was a great friend and one of the funniest guys. Many adventures while we worked at Roche Bros. The hilarious escapades continued right into our college years and then Jack moved away never to be heard from again.R.I.P.

My mom worked at the Glover with the well respected Dr. Doherty. I think Mrs. Doherty was active there also. Imagine working with 13 children. My mom was so excited when you picked me up to go to Hull (Dr Doherty's son)with all the Roche brothers gang. Ha Ha untill the end of the day when we all got back to Needham and Jack locked his keys in the trunk. There were so many fond memories of working at Roche Bros. With so many great friends. He was a sweet guy with a shy sense of humor, and a great friend.

Jack, a great shortstop, so much fun to ;play baseball with him. Never forget when he got his first car, Toyota Cellica, and talking with him about dog racing. He loved to follow the dog sheets out of Raynham and Taunton tracks. His favorite dog, Hushaway. Not sure why I remeber that but I do.
