One thought on “John J. Plail “Jack” – January 23, 2015

  1. I always appreciated Jack’s sharp wit when we were neighbors in Wayland. One time, when I was probably 16,
    we went to Gerry’s Dairy Bar in Dansville and he advised that getting two small frozen custards
    was a better deal than one large. His analysis was correct.

    Jack spoke to young people like a peer.

    Rest in peace.
