Millerton – Jack Gerard Silvernale passed away on July 28, 2018, after a short but aggressive battle with cancer. Born on September 7, 1958, in Anniston, Alabama, Jack served from 1978 to 1980 in the United States Army. On June 15, 1983, he married Veronica “Ronnie” Hosier.
Jack was an active member of the Berkshire Beagle Club, and an avid hunter and fisherman. Most of all, he loved being a provider for his family and friends, and taking care of his mother. Jack was the kind of man who gave his last dollar to someone in need, to buy unnecessary pets for his grandson, and to feed his great niece’s reading addiction.
Jack leaves behind many dearly loved family and friends.
