I grew up watching Jack and The Continentals. I was hoping to introduce my wife and daughter to them this summer. You will be missed Jack. You brought a lot of joy to my summers at Hampton Beach.

My friend and bandmate would tell me all the time that his greatest joy in life was entertaining people, and making them feel the emotions that he communicated.
They would then be a little happier, and have a better life themselves because of it. He did this for many and we all appreciate him for it. He life was full because as he would always say "I have a lot of wonderful friends"
His "VOICE" will be in our hearts forever.
I miss you my friend.

Jack was a true professional, a great husband, dedicated father and a true friend. Never said a bad word about anyone, and made all who met him laugh and enjoy life a little bit more than before.The world will be a little less joyful with his passing. I'm sure he's somewhere special now singing a medeley of Fiddler on the Roof, and the Phamton of the Opera.

My father, Vic Paul, has been close friends with Jack for as long as I can remember. I have helped Jack move his equipment, watched several of his shows and his band played at my wedding. We have lost a special person in Jack Knox. There is not enough room on this forum to express the kind of man he was. I will miss you Jack. Rest in peace.

Jack was a talented, kind and dynamic artist. He was a keen judge of talent and a supportive influence for many artists, including Sixties Invasion. From myself and bandmates David Vose, Jack Little and Dave Dunham our sincerest condolences to his family. Thanks Jack, Bob Cleary

What a loss to all his fans and the people of Hampton Beach. His band is what brought us to Hampton every year. He was a wonderful showman and a wonderful person. We will miss him tremendously. Rest in peace. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.

Jack, we just can't imagine life without you in it! We spoke with you almost every day for over 25 years, how will that void ever be filled? We'll miss you dear friend. God speed and give our love and a hug to Carmen. I know that she is very happy to be with you again. We love you and our prayers are with you and all of your family.

Hearing the news of Jack's passing makes me take a step back realizing and remembering that today is a gift and tomorrow is not a guarantee.
Jack, so many memories and GREAT stories from "The Foxtail lounge" to the Hampton Beach Casino!
You were truly a gentlemen and an inspiration to so many in the entertainment field.
Rest in Peace

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Capricorn

You feel like overindulging yourself in some way today, and why not? Throw caution to the wind and eat your way through a big bar of chocolate, or have a retail therapy session that leaves you reeling from the amount of money you've spent. There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
