Dear Connie: I was a classmate of Jack's at LaSalle High. My sympathies and prayers to you as you learn to live without the physical presence of Jack in your life. Our faith keeps him present and I am glad he covered so many bases with you before his passing to the Lord. Know that you are in my prayers. Many blessings, Stan Gumula, a Trappist monk

Dear Connie and Children, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the children in loss of our great friend Jack. My fondest memories of Jack are our Saturday and Sunday morning discussions over politics and business, children and families, all the time trying to avoid losing our $1.00 Naussau. Jack was a wonderful friend and golf partner for over 25 years...Kathy and I will miss him. We look forward to seeing you when you visit Cleveland and when we head south. You have our prayers and deepest sympathy. We pray for you and Jack dailey. Be strong and be safe. We love both of you. Kathy and Joe Mahovlic

Connie, Kathleen, Mike and Aimee- We are so sorry we can't be there with you today but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. It was so appropriate that my parents asked Jack and Connie to be my Godparents over 35 years ago! because you all truly are our family. Almost every great memory from my childhood involves the O'Donnell family. We will miss Jack and pray he is at peace.

To our dear Connie, Kathleen, Mike and Aimee...You all know that Jack was one of our closest friends and we and our children enjoyed so many years together on so many adventures whether it be golf, tennis, ore boat trips, Florida and the Landings, Penn State football, parties for no reason, Holden Arboretum events, Christmas Eves and especially those 25+ consecutive Thanksgivings together that Jack so thoughtfully commemorated with the famous silver bowl or just live it up nites on Fridays! Most of all we remember John Loftus as a kind, and loyal friend with the great sense of humor of a true Irishman who never turned down a good scotch. We will sorely miss this guy. Love to you all Stu and Penny Theis

- Stu and Penny Theis, Concord Township, OH

John was truly a mentor to me in our days together in the food buisness in Cleveland. More importantly, he was a friend and enjoyed life, his family and friends immensely. I will miss 'updating' him on the status of the food service industry and our 'chats'. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this time, and may The Lord's Peace bring you comfort.
