Jack Garner, a longtime local film critic whose movie reviews for Gannett newspapers informed generations of Rochester cinephiles and casual moviegoers, died Sunday. He was 75 years old.
His wife, Bonnie, who often accompanied Garner to films and press junkets, told the Democrat and Chronicle, where Garner had worked for decades, that the couple would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary next month.
Earlier this year, Garner was elected an Honorary Trustee of WXXI and The Little Theatre, which is operated by WXXI.
