Tributes

  1. Jack & I joined the SEC the same day back in 1948 in Traralgon. He was never happy there & eventually left. We maintained a friendship for many years until I moved away in ’56. We did meet up a few times after that. His wife Marg was a lovely girl from Sale. Jack had one of the first Morris Minors, a soft top & it was always immaculate. My condolences to the family.

  11. To all Jacks loved ones….What a great man was Jack O.Brien… He was my first boss at United Insurance, and was a caring and hardworking person to work with, and for, and I still remember the beautiful Marge so well. We were having babies at the same time. Jack did not ever change… A lot of history has been lost with these positive, honest people going on to their next lives together. A handsome couple together again..
