Jack had an adventurous spirit. He would try everything and do anything. He was known for his kindness and generosity. Jack always had room in his heart for others and he was committed to helping people in need. Whether it was planting flags for Veterans on Memorial Day with Boy Scouts of America, working a food kitchen, packing backpacks for the homeless, loading trucks with toys for children at Christmas, or spreading awareness for Rhody Outpost at URI for the food insecure, Jack always wanted to contribute in some way. Jack could find beauty in the smallest things. He brought warmth and joy to everyone who took the time to know him.
“Nature brings solace in all troubles.”
