James J. Special, "Jack" 82 of Tempe, AZ, Passed Away

ARCA James J Special
August 22, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.

James J. Special, "Jack" 82 of Tempe, Arizona, passed away August 1, 2020 after a brief illness and complications from COVID-19. 

Jack spent the last 30 years of his working life (retired 2008) and his most enjoyable doing sales in the roofing industry, he made many great friendships along the way and a million and one stories to tell. If you drove around the Greater Phoenix area with him there wasn't a building he bid or put a roof on.

Besides all his golf playing stories and time with his golfing buddies he most loved his time spent with his great granddaughters Izabell & Layla. His knowledge of sports history was unbelievable and rarely did he not have the correct answer, and if you asked him the Buffalo Bills won two championships (AFL '64,'65). Go Bills!

He is preceded in death by his wife Lillian and daughter Lisa. Parents Frank & Mary and older brother Phillip. He is survived by his son Gregory, his granddaughter Elizabeth and great granddaughters Izabell & Layla. Sisters Marian (Harold) DiMarco, Diane (Tony) Frisicaro and all his loving cousins, nieces and nephews in the special family. To his second family the Goffs (in-laws) which there are many many of, he cherished and loved his time spent with all.

Due to the existing conditions there will be a celebration of Jack's life at a later date. Jack's ashes will be interred at the V.A. National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, along with his loves Lillian and Lisa. Columbarium F8 #B3 on August 21.
