My deepest sympathy to Jack’s family. My husband ( Mike) worked as the building inspector/city assessor for many years, with Jack. He felt he was one of the best mayors. He was a thoughtful, kind man. Now they are both in heaven. Bless you all.

My sincere sympathy to the entire Breault family. Jack was one of a kind, reminding me of my husband Bob Liberty who was a friend of his. Jack made it to Bob’s 90th Birthday in Maine and Bob died shortly afterward. Bob thought of Jack as a brother. It comforts me to know they are together again. I am sending you all peaceful and comforting thoughts in your grievous time ahead. It was my honor to have known Jack.
Greg and family,
Our condolences. May many memories be shared in the days to come.
