fine man from a great family. His death is a loss both for HC and for Bergen Catholic. He helped to put BC on the national high school sports scene. May his soul rest in pwavce and his loved ines find comfort in their loss.

LD/Spense Friends of Crusader Football ***************************************** Sent: Sat, Oct 5, 2019 7:20 amSubject: Jack McGovern '80 Fellow Crusaders, We are saddened to share with you that we lost a legendary Crusader and loyal son of Holy Cross with the passing of Jack McGovern yesterday. Jack was a giant among giants and a Crusader among Crusaders both on and off the field. I recall as if it were yesterday living across the hall from Jack in summer camp 1979 when as a lowly walk-on freshman, I met this larger than life itself Crusader who was Jack McGovern as he graciously welcomed me into his room and introduced me to a number of other senior Crusaders. That engaging personality grew ever larger and the positive and everlasting impact it had on countless individuals connected to our great college and to Bergen Catholic is the stuff of which legends are made. We will share details of Jack's services with our Crusader Football Family yet prior to that whether you knew Jack personally or not, please offer a prayer on his behalf and that of the entire extended McGovern family. Thank you. Special note of gratitude to Tony Rocchio '80, Jack's teammate both at Holy Cross and from their high school days at Bergen Catholic, who stood by Jack's side and that of his family every step of the way. With deepest regret, LD/Spense “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinithians 2:9
