Tributes paid to you at your retirement offered a glimpse into how passionate you were about your career and how much you accomplished.  Photos on this site show what a loving father and grandfather you were.  God bless you.

It was an honor to have known Jack, even if for only a short time.  Make that hole-in-one in heaven!

Jack, rest in peace.  Thank you for all your hard work for San Jose Firefighter's past and present.

Jack, is a great union guy. I knew him when he was a County Mounty. Hr was always a fair and "honest" representative. I believe he payed his way into heavan by helping all the people he did. As a fellow union dude, I salute him. I am grateful to have called him friend.

Jack, THANK YOU for all that you did for the working men and women of the fire service. Your hard work will benefit generations to come and your smile will be missed. Rest well, brother.  You earned it.

Jack, thank you for showing the way to a meaningful career that was always a lot of fun.  Your wonderful insights were a challenge as well as a thought provoking lesson.  May you have your well deserved peace.  obsequiously, Joe Staley.

Jack, you were such a great friend to me.  Your guidance and advice was always so helpful.  You had a way of gently steering me into the right direction on so many issues.  Most of the Fire Fighters in the State of California will never know how much you did to provide all of us with a better workplace and secured a future for our families.  I am humbled and honored that you considered me a friend.  Rest peacefully my friend

Hey kiddo! as you so fondly referred to many of us here at City Hall. I learned of your battle only recently. I knew only that you haven't visisted for awhile and wondered where you were. Now I know you're up there making new friends smile and pleasing the Lord with that great chuckle of yours.
As I think about you, I fondly recall the days of ole' city hall, the gang on the 6th floor and the many meals we all shared on the roof top cafe.  There you were...always dressed so handsomely and always giving me the same answer when I'd compliment you on your nice shirts "It's Freda's fault, she picks out all my clothes and dresses me up." Thank you for the memories and your friendship. Goodbye kiddo.

Jack was a good man and loyal friend, who stayed by my side during a very difficult time in my life. I last saw Jack and Freda at a San Jose Giants game in the BBQ area, and enjoyed visiting with them. Good bye my friend, I know you're in a better place now. You will always be missed, but never forgotten.

Uncle Jack, you will be missed and remembered as a kind and gentle man, you will remain in our thoughts and prayers always, Lauri & Ron Householder

Your wonderful spirit and great love of family always made you a very special person.  Growing up in Kentucky put us miles apart, but it made those Michigan visits  exciting as I looked forward to the crazy times we were sure to have in your fun neighborhood.You will be in my heart forever and you will always be my "favorite cousin".  Nancy Adams (Greenville,Ky)

To a wonderful & generous brother, you will be missed!  sleep in heavenly peace.  loving you always!  Joyce Lansfield & family

  Uncle Jack, What a Hero! Always so full of Life-Love- & Happiness! Rest in Peace now Uncle Jack. You will be Missed " Mary Fadoir & Family

Growing up, you were always the mysterious 'cool' Uncle that lived in California, so far away from all of us in Michigan, always telling us to 'come on out' and visit. When we took the summer trip to San Jose in 1974 I was 10, I remember really meeting for the first time. You looked familiar, as in family familiar, but there was something different about you, something 'cool'. It must have been that California state of mind.  Uncles are a great thing, they remind you of your father, but they don't carry the same disciplinary weight, when you do something stupid they just laugh at you. I can remember you saying "don't worry, I'll take care of that", or "your money is no good here", anything to take care of us. Always giving all you could for your family, an early lesson that would stick with me forever. 
It must have made an impression, because 9 years later I was California bound!
I can still see you standing in the hallway in that beautiful Morgan Hill house, 20 plus years ago, smiling and shaking your head in disbelief when Dave & I finally decided to come home, at whatever time in the AM it was. That combination of looks-'do you know what time it is' & 'I know what your last name is' & 'what a couple of idiots' (laughing when you do something stupid).
Whenever I was around visiting Grandma at your place, or just getting stupid with Dave, you always took great care of me while I was there, which I obviously needed.  You were a constant flow of love & respect, the two most important things someone can give to another person.  And I hope you felt the same from me, because I always have and always will have the utmost love & respect for you, and the way you represented our family. 
Your mother once told me I was a 'good man', which I consider the finest compliment I have ever received. But I owe it all to the influences of men like you, Grandpa, Uncle Jimmy and my Dad, who taught me what a good man is. You have made us all proud to be Salois', and I could hardly ask for a better role model for being a Salois man.  
Some say "he who leaves with the most toys wins", not true...
A wise man knows, "He who leaves with the most Love & Respect wins".
And that, Uncle Jack, makes you the winner.

Uncle Jack, you left a wonderful legacy. You'll be in our hearts forever.

Will miss you brother, but I'm sure you are at peace now in God's hands.

Dear Uncle Jack, thank you for the wonderful grilled salmon dinners, your families hospitality during all of my visits and the wonderful memories.  You will be missed and held close in my heart.

Glad your pain is over brother,you had a great run, wish it could have lasted longer.
Say hi to mom and jim.

Rest in peace dear brother....you will always remain in our hearts - your the best !
