Although it was 11 years ago, I remember the strong, yet gentle ’Elmo’. Taking care of him was a joy as well as an honor. When his memory came across my feed, I knew that I wanted to share my story again. I am sure that he is watching over us all. Blessings to his soul.

The memory of "Elmo" helps me to remember that life is short. Love ,live, and enjoy it when you´re able. His smile and energy helped empower me to be a better nurse as well as a better person. I thank Goodness that our paths crossed. To his family, I pray that your hearts are full of joy and happiness of the wonderful memories you shared. Peace to you.
Jack was type of guy who was concerned on how you were doing ? He was a cheerful guy to say the least which the world needs more of. I remember when lois passed away Jack was able to comfort family in a unique way . Great character person !
My sympathy and prayer of Gods comfort to Jacks family. I went to Utica school with Jack & we grew up in the same neighborhood so I knew him for many years. I admired his dedication to Newark City Schools.
i remember riding the bus everyday to middle school and he would always have something funny to say to everyone, made us kids laugh but was always serious about his job made sure we was all safe. he will always be in our hearts and prayers. rest in peace elmo.
Dear Kashner Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Jack will be remembered for his love of Newark Schools and his happy larger than life personality. Our thoughts are with you.

Elmo was my bus driver in high school and always teased me and made me laugh. He was so kind and fun to be around!!! To his family and friends my deepest sympathy. He will be greatly missed.
I'm sorry to hear of Jack's passing, man he was a great person, so fun to be around and laugh with, he never missed a Newark football game that I can remember & loved the band. He was always in my family's talk for years. He will be deeply missed. Thanks Jack for all the great memories.
I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I worked with him at Newark City Schools back in the late 80's. He was a dedicated and professional Bus Driver. But he also was a good person.
There will never be another like Jack "Elmo". He will be greatly missed. I feel honored to have known him. This route has ended, we've safely arrived now your next route begins and last for eternity. Goodbye....memories will be forever treasured.
