Roberts Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Jack! I had the pleasure of working with him in the early 90's as I was Joe Sattler's assistant. You father was a wonderful man and I have very fond memories of wonderful sense of humor. He helped me and my husband close on our first home when we were in our twenties. RIP Jack! Love and prayers!

Roxanne and family, I met Jack when I needed a divorce attorney; I found him through an ad in the newspaper and liked him immediately upon our first meeting. Over the years he got me through two divorces, numerous will changes and several other legal issues and he was always a consummate professional, big bear of a guy and always twirling that mustache. Even after he no longer practiced, I thought of him fondly as he got me through some rough legal situations; I am forever grateful for his wisdom, guidance and kindness. He spoke proudly of his family and if we had a late afternoon meeting he'd be in his "coaching clothes" ready to run to a game for one of the kids - he adored you all so very much. May your wonderful memories of him comfort you now and in the days ahead. My sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time; may Jack rest in peace.

Dear Roxanne, Caitlin, Mugsy,Jake and families, Sorry to hear about Jack, he was a great husband, father and coach. Jack was renown for his dry sense of humor. We were playing Scituate,tight game when their goalie lost control of the ball Kristie Tarala drilled the ball into the back of the net. The team and the fans were elated until the official who was clearly out of position said the keeper had control and took away her goal. Coach Weebs had me by the back of my jacket as I attempted to charge the field. Jack was restrained on the sidelines attempting to do the same. After the game Jack approached me with his wry smile and said"Mike we handled that situation well " we both chuckled. Jack always said the right thing. Rest in peace Bubba, Mike and Lynne Bonasia
