Death in The Bulletin Family

Scattered across America there is a wonderful extended family of former Philadelphia Bulletin reporters and editors. Those who worked in the sports department up until the moment the newspaper folded in 1982 remain particularly close. So I know my friends and Bulletin "family" are all mourning the loss of John T. "Jack" Wilson, retired Bulletin sports editor and good friend who passed away Thursday at age 85.

Jack will be buried today, with a military honor guard befitting a decorated World War II veteran.

Rest well, my friend and know that nearly everyone still misses The Bulletin. We miss you, too.
