Jack would have loved it.

New York Giants star wide-receiver Victor Cruz visited the family of his biggest little fan, 6-year-old Jack Pinto, in Connecticut today, paying respects to the family four days after Jack was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School bloodbath.

On Sunday, Cruz had honored the little boy by dedicating a football game to his memory.
