He was a Revere businessman & entrepreneur for many years as the proprietor & operator of “Mickey’s” Northshore Café on North Shore Road, Revere, a popular neighborhood lounge. “Jackie” had a most welcoming & generous nature & personality, traits he inherited from his late Dad, John P. “Mickey,” Sr. Jack could not pass up the opportunity of joining & then leading a host of religious, fraternal, & social organizations. He was the Past Grand Knight & longtime member of the Revere Council – Knights of Columbus #179, Past President & member of the Revere Kiwanis Club, a member of the Lynn Chapter of the Ancient & Honorable Order of Hiberians, & Saugus VFW, Post #2346, & member of the Orient Heights Yacht Club of Orient Heights, East Boston, & Cottage Park Yacht Club of Winthrop. “Jack” served for over six years in the Air National Guard during the Viet-Nam Era, based out of Logan Airport.
During his adult life & continuing onto his very last weeks before his unexpected passing, Jack lived his Catholic faith with classic & humbled generosity. Many times over the years, he & his Dad quietly were the magnanimous “angels of mercy,” especially to the downtrodden & disenfranchised. Jack & his Dad never sought any acknowledgement of their quiet generosities to their beloved Immaculate Conception Parish Community Building Fund, or other fraternal & social organizations. They assumed responsibility for many a debt owed, absolutely, anonymously.
