Sincere sympathy to Claire, his sisters, and all family members on the death of Jack. He was always a pleasure to meet.
Jack will be remembered for many things, including his big contribution to education and the promotion of handball, but deserves special praise for his book Swinford Spalpeens: Aspects of Migration and Emigration from the East Mayo Area 1815-1970 (2017).
