Since his retirement from Pepsi-Cola ten years ago, Jack enjoyed a relaxed time at his home in Cheshire, enjoyed golf and spending extra time with his grandchildren. Jack found great joy in special visits from close friends and family where he shared great conversations which included laughing hysterically! Jack was so proud of his family and their accomplishments and loved the times he watched his grandchildren at their sporting events. He especially loved having everyone over for big, Italian dinners, and the company of his pet of seventeen years, Theodore. Arrangements - A private ceremony and burial was held at St. Lawrence Cemetery in West Haven. The Alderson Funeral Home of Cheshire, 615 S. Main St assisted with arrangements.
