ABG Realty would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of John R. Burns (1935-2015) of Arlington, MA. Affectionately known as “Jack” by many friends and colleagues, ABG Realty had the honor in 2011 of announcing Jack’s membership to our commercial brokerage team. Jack was responsible for multiple commendable real estate transactions in Cambridge, Arlington, and Somerville. Many have said he is a “natural-born salesperson”
Jack has received many awards and has served the community in various capacities including working as the principal of Watertown High School, as well as lecturing at Leslie College and Boston College. Among several memorable mentions, we remember Jack most for his love of B.C. High, Boston College, his proud Irish heritage, and his deep faith. On the lighter side, Jack will invariably be remembered for his great sense of humor, always with his teasing jokes. You could always count on Jack for a good laugh. He was a joy to know.
Rest in peace dear Jack. You will be missed by many.
