A Life Remembered
Jack passed away on May 21st due to the recurrence of a brain tumor. He was diagnosed with a Grade IV astrocytoma on May 8, 2006. He underwent surgery, radiation treatments and chemotherapy over this past year.
Surviving him are his wife Carolyn and their children Leanna, Kaede and Mac as well as his children, Blake and Keira, from his first marriage to Nancy (Lupo). He is also survived by two of his seven sisters, Betty Sabino of Quincy, Massachusetts and Beverly (Pucky) Roschke of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Jack spent his teenage years with his sister Betty, her husband 'Doc' Sabino and their children Barbara, Tony and Laney at their beach house in Green Harbor, MA. He graduated from Marshfield High School and attended Boston University. While stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, he served as a helicopter mechanic for the US Army.
His career in the restaurant business included The Elbo Room in Ft. Lauderdale, Hugo’s Lighthouse in Cohasset, The Last Hurrah in Boston and The Phoenix in Cincinnati, just to name a few. When he owned Ward Six, he was honored with a “Best of Cincinnati” award for the best mashed potatoes and was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel.
An excellent bartender and outstanding cook, he enjoyed reading, playing horseshoes on the beach, watching Jeopardy and fishing. His sense of humor, honesty and obstinate Irish charm will be missed.
In tribute to Jack, an Open House was held at his home in West Chester, OH on May 25th. In August, a Memorial Service will be held in Green Harbor, MA. As he requested, he was cremated at Avance Crematory on June 7, 2007.
His family is grateful to the staff at West Chester Family Physicians, Good Samaritan Hospital, Precision Radiotherapy and Hospice of Cincinnati for the compassionate care he received this past year. Carolyn is so appreciative for the unbelievable support from University Anesthesia Associates during his illness.
Condolences may be sent to Avance Funeral Home and Crematory in Fairfield , Ohio, or posted here as a "COMMENT." A link to Avance Funeral Home is provided for you.

Hello Carolyn
Thank you so much for letting me know about Jack's death. You have been in my thoughts and I have been wondering how things have been going. I do know that you took the rest of the year off from school to be with him. I would love to see you whenever you feel ready to get together. Hope the summer is a healing time for you, and your kids. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
