A good number of the O'Dowd family attending the 50th reunion were frieinds, or friendly with Jack Sweeney.
Jack was a joker. I can remember to this day, Jack telling one of the hundreds of jokes he seemed to have, but
having trouble getting to the punch line because he always cracked himself up, while delivering the setup.
I got to know Jack well at O'Dowd; our girlfriends (Marlene/Christine) were best friends. Then better during
and after college, when we were local 70 teamsters at Delta Trucking in Emeryville for a few years.
Jackie was a good man and friend. Rest in peace, brother.
