So very sorry for the loss of a very good man. Always seemed to have a smile on his face, especially when he found a fish or polar bear at the auction. Most knew not to even bid. Right now he is at an auction winning every bid! Will miss talking with him. I hope Vi and Pat will keep in touch.

There is a new angel today in heaven, and the world is a little dimmer because his shining spirit is no longer here. Jack, you are without a doubt the kindest, gentlest man I have ever known and my world will never be the same without you. I know there is a lot of whooping and hollering in heaven today with you 4 and Grace back together!!! A friend said that now when mom looks for you, she will see you through angel wings!! Rest well my wonderful brother; I love you so. Narno

Uncle Jack, You will forever be close in my heart and words cannot ever express the deep sorrow we all feel inside. I could not have asked for a better man to be my uncle and you taught me more than you will ever know. Say hello to David for me and i hope you two dont fight about what spot to fish in. Lol.. I love you Jack!

My best memory of Uncle Jack, is when he and Aunt Pat surprised my dad (his brother Allen) with a visit to Memphis.
Now they're together again, free of the limits of frail bodies.
RIP Uncle Jack.

I am so glad I got to know such a wonderful man. You welcomed me in your family with open arms and you and your wife raised a wonderful son that I now call my husband. I will always cherish our talks, and the memories we made. I promised you that I would take good care of your son and I will, also spend time your loving wife. I know you are not suffering and you are able to do the things you could not do. I will miss you so much. Love you.
