Rest In Peace Jack O'Halloran


Recommended Posts

Member Wolfe Tone.

While Jack was a member here, he was more of a regular member of another board. I had the good fortune to meet him in Boston in 2008,

during a visit by Professor Twain. Unfortunately, it was the only time we were able to meet, but you don't forget a man like Jack, or for that

matter, his group of friends. Jack and his group were very generous and made me feel at home right off the bat, and I'll never forget it.

Jack passed just a month ago, but I just read about it now. I know most here do not know him, but I felt the need to post this just the same.

So Jack, you won't be forgotten, and when I next light up in town, and every time I light up, I'll raise one to you.

Cheers Mate.

Jack "Wolf Tone" O'Halloran was a generous fellow that I had the opportunity to meet several times. I spoke with him on his last trip down to Florida and we made arrangements to get together for a cigar during his trip back to the Boston area, unfortunately his plans were changed and we had to cancel. I am truly sorry for that now. Those that knew him appreciated his sharp wit and ability to laugh at life in general. He is missed by many.

R.I.P. Jack.

Nice to see this thread here, and of course I am glad that you used the pic from the Boston Sit Down Colt.

Jack was a great guy, funny, irreverent, fiercely loyal to his friends, and committed to social justice. He loved fishing, hunting, and the damn Boston Red Sox.

That night in Boston was a memorable occasion. I saw Jack several times during his visits to Florida as well and we spoke by phone occasionally.

I found another picture of Jack from one of his visits to Tampa, in about 2006. We had Culebras (the OLD machine made ones from 2002) and posed and took this picture.

He was the best.
