I’m thinking of Jack today, on his birthday. I’m sending him my love. I miss him.

Hi Caitlin, I was Jack’s girlfriend from 1981-1989. We were together through part of high school and at MassArt. I was devastated to hear of his death. We had lost touch in recent years, which makes me terribly sad now. I didn’t know how sick he’d become. I will always remember Jack as young and full of energy — creative and talented, funny and fiercely compassionate. Somehow I thought he’d always be there. I often thought of him, and still do. There’s no one like him. I miss him terribly. I put together some photos of him here:

Thanks for writing this page about Jack. I know that many people are missing him.

My heart is broken. Jack “Lightning Boy”, as I called him, and I
have been friends since we both worked at the Colonial Inn back in the day. We both loved playing the guitar. We would call each
other on the phone and play some new riff, hopping to win the
appoval of each other!
As time went by,we still stayed in touch. There is so much
I could say about what a great man jack was,but those of you that knew him know that already. Fly on Lightning Boy.
