Jack was a fellow Jaycee and a fellow mortgage lender. All of the employees at Conley Mortgage will miss doing business with him. He always treated us fairly and more importantly, he always made us laugh. He was a great friend to us all.
I have very fond memories of
Jack when he worked with me at
Wachovia Bank in Morganton.
Our thoughts and prayers are
with his family during this
difficult time.
Linda,Chesley,David

You have my sympathy. I am praying for you and your family. I am a friend of Sarah, Jack’s mother.
Can’t believe that Jack is no longer with us. He will be sorely missed on our ushering team.
I had the pleasure of working with Jack at Blue Ridge Savings for several years. He always had a smile and time to listen to all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
Linda and I worked together at Broughton Hospital for 7 years. We were both just married and our children are about the same age. Jack and Linda used to play cards with us when they lived in Morganton. We always had such fun. My prayers and deepest sympathy to Linda, Chesley and David and the rest of the family.

Our sincerest condolences
My sympathy and best wishes go out to Linda, Chesley, David and all the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Many years have gone by since we have been in contact, but I wanted you to know that
the Annis family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
We all were shocked by Jack’s passing and it reaffirms how precious life is. He was always a steady hand in times of difficulty.
Many claim their faith but Jack lived his faith in Christ as close as anyone could. I enjoyed working with him and our community will surely miss him.
David,
I didn’t know your father well but I just wanted you to know that you and your family have been in my paryers. We seem so invincible at this age and don’t expect to loose our parents yet. I’m so sorry, I know he was a very respected man.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Jack for the past five years and his untimely passing has affected the entire mortgage banking community especially his family at Blue Ridge Savings Bank! We still believe that he will be walking through the door at any moment. As I mentioned to Jack’s mother, Sarah, not only did I learn a tremendous amount about mortgages but more importantly, I have learned a tremendous amount about the kindness of people! I always admired the fact that Jack always spoke so highly of his family. He was loved by many!
Hope I long to hear that wonderful laugh through the wall, or the latest family story. I feel I know all of you, Linda, David and Chesley, Jack was so very proud of each of you. He was a wonderful man and I feel Blessed to have known him, if only for one and a half years. You are all in my prayers.
Dearest Linda and Children…our hearts go out to each of you in the loss of your husband, best friend, and father. All of you are in our prayers and hearts. With so much love, Judy, ken, Paige, Mark and Mary
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Linda, David and Chesley:
The time were many that Jack and I would talk about our families. I have never talked with a prouder husband and father who so openly talked so lovingly about his family.
I will always remember him as a very caring and generous friend who was probably the best all around mortgage banker I have known.
I miss him more than I can say.
It doesnt interest me what people do for a living or what they die from. The importance of life is in the passion you have for living. From all of these comments, my brother is remembered for his passion for his family and for his care of people. He gave of himself and brought joy and laughter to those around him. He brought those special qualities to our lives and to the way he always cared for my mother and me. He has a special place in my life and in my heart. His passing will not change that. I miss you, Jack.
