  2. I loved Jack like the brother I never had. He was a truly caring person who would do anything for you. Susie is like my sister and the three of us enjoyed many cruises, vacations and just hanging out with each other. He will be forever in my heart and forever missed until we meet again! Love, Darlene

  3. Mr Jack was an amazing person. We had only known him for about 3 years but my family loved hanging out with him.
    He and Mrs Susie would allow us to use their pool with our 2 young boys. Mr Jack would come out and we had the most fun pool side chats. We looked forward to seeing him whenever we went. He would make sure the table umbrella was up for us and would bring my hungry boys snacks. He even helped us keep an eye on the boys as we would swipe parenting stories.
    He was truly the best sort of human. The type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back.
    We love you Mr Jack and will miss you.

  16. Susie and family,
    I’m sorry to hear the news about Jack. Even though I haven’t seen him in a number of years just seeing his picture brought back many high school memories. He was a good athlete, on the baseball field, and all around great guy.
    May God give you His full measure of Grace during this time.

  27. Susie, I don’t even know where to begin, our lives together go back so many wonderful and fun years years, Jack and I worked at the Dixie as teenagers and we’re in classes together at school. He always kept us laughing and full of joy. I remember the day he came home from Vietnam and we went to a football game and he was freezing and it was fall here, we were so happy to have him back home safe and sound. I treasure all the wonderful memories that keep popping into my mind, Travis, I’ve known you since you were born and we have precious memories of many times spent together. Jackson and Jansen your granddaddy loved you guys so much and you have all that love in your hearts to follow as an example of a wonderful man. Susie, I love you like a sister we have been together as life long friends for 70+ years. David and I will be here for you whenever you need us. Please don’t forget that.
