Mary Jean,
Know that I'm there with you today-in our great
sister-bond. I have some great memories of Jack,
especially hearing his "old war tales", and -
listening (at the same time), his TV, side-by-side
radio and his "snoring". Also, his help in the
kitchen, especially his good deviled eggs. My
love, thoughts and prayers are with you all today.
All the family send love. God Bless, Your Sister

My dear sister: Know that I am with you in spirit, thoughts and prayers today. I have many
fond memories of Jack, espcially listening to "Old
war tales", his good deviled eggs, and sharing TV,
his (by-his-side)radio, and his "snoring". Good
ol' Jack - he will be missed by many. My family
and I send our love to all. God Bless, Phyl

Our community has lost a great friend. We will miss, not only his friendship, but his decades of dedicated service to his hometown. It has been my personal pleasure to be a lifelong friend of Jacks since we met, at about age six, as members of the same Sunday School class at First Baptist Church.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was not only a great person but a good friend. He helped me when I had alot of questions about knee replacements. He will be greatly missed. Please know that each of you are in my prayers.
