It is with great sadness that the Suncoast Camera
Club announces the passing of Jack O'Connell on June 18th.
Jack joined the club in 2001. He was active in the club and most
recently served as the 2010 Program Chairman.
Jack enjoyed going on photography outings and spending time with club
members. He will be missed by
his fellow club members.
