Jack Cherry- RIP

[Masterofreality]

A great Xavier Man passed away this weekend. Former Xavier SID and Former Houston Oilers PR Director, Jack Cherry.
Jack was also known on the various message boards over the years as WiseXUOwl and more recently here Always Learning.
Jack was a tremendous help to me when I was at XU as Golf Team Captain. His advice and counsel on various things to make sure that we stayed in line with different things was invaluable and appreciated. We stayed in touch over the years despite his being miles away in Houston. He was a Xavier classmate of our own WKRQ and sent a wonderful, hilarious dissertation that we read at Q's induction to the Lew Hirt Society. If you wanted a rollicking story about how College Sports used to be, with names named and no details left out, Jack was your guy. One of his hopes last year was that he would be able to experience a Xavier Final Four in Houston, and he was going to set up an all star golf foursome. Too bad we didn't make it.

I know that many of you have no idea who Jack Cherry was, but trust me, you would have loved him if you did.

Rest in Peace Jack, and keep Repping Xavier up there at the Paradise Country Club.

Rest well, Jack. Save a good spot for me in the Xavier cheering section.

Very sorry to hear this. Even though I didn't know him personally, it still makes me sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to all his friends and family. I have enjoyed reading his comments over the years and will miss his humor and insight.

May he be at rest in heave for week before the devil even knows he's gone. RIP Jack, you will be missed.
