In Loving Memory of Jack Marino It is with much sadness that I write these words to honor the memory of Jack Marino, a man whose life and legacy will continue to inspire all who knew him. Jack was a rare blend of talent, generosity, and humor, traits that made him not only an exceptional professional but also an extraordinary friend, father, husband, and grandfather. Jack Marino was a master of his craft, known for his incredible work as a prop master in the film industry. Over the years, he worked with some of the most iconic filmmakers in the world, including Mel Brooks and John Hughes. Whether it was crafting the perfect prop or ensuring every detail was impeccably placed on set, Jacks passion for his work was evident in everything he did. His contributions to film were immeasurable, and countless productions were made better because of his meticulous eye and his dedication to the craft. But beyond his professional success, what truly made Jack stand out was his character. He was a man of warmth, kindness, and wit, always quick to share a laugh or lend a hand to anyone in need. He treated everyone with respect, from the biggest names in Hollywood to the people working behind the scenes. Jack was never one to seek the spotlight for himself, yet his presence on set or in any gathering, was always felt. In his retirement, Jack continued to lead a life full of adventure and joy, traveling the world with his beloved wife, Pam. Together, they explored foreign lands, embarking on cruises and discovering new places, all while forming lasting friendships wherever they went. They lived life with enthusiasm and curiosity, embracing each moment to the fullest. Jacks zest for life was contagious, and it left an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to cross his path. Jack is survived by his loving wife Pam, his daughter and son-in-law, and four grandchildren, all of whom were blessed to be part of his life. He was a dedicated family man, proud of each one of them, and they were his greatest joy. His love and guidance will live on through them. Jack Marino was a man who made the world a better place simply by being in it. He touched countless lives, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who knew him. But in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, and the love we carry in our hearts, his spirit will never fade. Jack’s legacy is one of kindness, laughter, and compassion, and for that, he will always be remembered with love and admiration. Rest in peace, Jack. You will forever be missed, but never forgotten.
