NIAGARA FALLS -
It is with great sadness that the family of John E. "Jack" McAlllister, Jr. announces his passing on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at Kenmore Mercy Hospital of a heart attack at the age of 63. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, Jack was the son of the late John E. and Elsie McAllister and grew up in the LaSalle section of Niagara Falls.
Jack was a graduate of both LaSalle H.S. and SUNY Pottsdam. His love of sports centered around swimming and golf where he excelled. Numerous swim records still stand today in his name at both schools. He was extremely talented and could fix almost anything and always offered help to friends in need. Family and friends were his love of life and his smiling face and big bear hugs will be sorely missed by his longtime friends, Andy Soder, Paul Mikranz and Dean Blanchard. Jack was the owner of Twin City Builders, Inc. and was also employed by his good friend, Chris Valentine, at Lighthouse Management Partners, Inc.
Jack was married to the late Patricia (Acampora) McAllister and is survived by his children, Lily M. McAllister; a son, John E. McAllister, III and his loving grandson, Damon Hall; sisters, Sandra (Brian) Masterson, Carol (late James) Knotts; brothers, Roderick (Cheri) Boesken and Barry (Kathy) Boesken. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Funeral services will be private and a memorial will be held at a later time. It would please Jack greatly to be remembered by random acts of kindness.
