Obituary for Jack Stanley Podkaminer

Jack Stanley Podkaminer, 2½, of Jamesville, gained his angel wings on Thursday, surrounded by family and loved ones after a long illness. Jack was born in Syracuse on February 18, 2011. Jack was a beautiful, sweet, loving and feisty little boy who loved his family and was loved by all who met him. He looked up to his big brother Witt. They shared a love of trucks, playing in their sandbox, using their ipads, jumping on their trampoline and riding with their Dad on his tractor. Jack loved to help with his new sister Ellis. He helped hold her, feed and burp her, rock her and hold her hand. Jack was loved and adored so deeply by his Mom and Dad. Jack was so tough and brave and will be remembered for his strength and courage, and the ability to smile, laugh and play even on difficult days.
