Our deepest sympathy to Rosemary and all the Roy family, on the sad passing of Jack. May he rest in peace

Rosemary, Suzi, & Jill,

Our deepest condolences on Jack's passing. We feel lucky to have known such a funny, charming, generous, and loving man. He was one of life's true gentlemen - no matter who he met, their lives were made deeply richer for him being in it.

We can’t imagine the loss you’re feeling, but hope that all the love and shared memories temper the heartache. We're thinking of you always.

Fair winds, Jack.

I know Jack through Sailing Race Management mostly. Great fun to be around, always made the day interesting, with jokes, cracks and pranks. The cocktail sausages from a flask on a cold frostbite morning, were always welcome.
A memory that keeps jumping into my mind, during an event in Dun Laoghaire, where Jack alleged that both Ed and myself must be blind, for not being able to see the starting boats that were clearly over the line. The next day the prank was turned back on Jack, with the mark boat arriving out to the race area, with probing white sticks and darkened glasses, searching for the Committee boat, with crew that clearly could not see so well.
You will be sadly missed Jack. My thoughts go out to Rosemary and fmaily at this difficult time.

Rosemary and Family, we were devastated to hear of Jack's untimely passing. He will be such a big loss to the sailing community, he was always available with kind words, encouragement and guidance on so many fronts. May he rest in peace.

Dear Rosemary and Family

I am so sorry to hear this news. Jack was a very funny,thoughtful and caring Gentleman and will be greatly missed.

Best wishes

Louise
