Jack was an awesome person,and I know that this will be a difficult transistion in life without him. If Jack's has had any influence on the people that you have become then I know that he has made a great one. Remember the good times shared with Jack and remain strong.

Grandpa Jack,
For 13 years you brought me a great deal of joy. Thank you for teaching me how to fish...I will always remember how much fun we had going out in the boat and spending the entire day at the lake.
I miss you and you will ALWAYS be my "Grandpa Jack".
Love,
Malik aka "Skeetter"

To Terry, Carl, Sheila & Ronnie: My condolences to you all. Sheila, you probably never knew that I changed my wedding date to 8/18/73 because if memory serves me correectly you were married 8/25/73, and your wedding date, etc. had already been planned. I still remember my brother and I, Allen McNichols, living around the corner from the Word's; My condolences to all of you. Be thankful you have each other to get you through this difficult time. Find strength in family and remember the good times.

Our Grandpa Word took us bowling and fishing when we were little kids. We didn't pick up on the fishing but we surely picked up the bowling. With our Grandpa and Dad by oursides, we turned out to be pretty good. Our first bowling balls were from him and still have them til this day. He will always be loved and missed!! Love your Grandchildren!

shelby: I appreciate your acceptance of the wonderful friendship that Jack and I had for forty plus years. He was my "brother", confidant and our private joke club emcee.
We laughed through many trials, deaths, illnesses, successes and perils, we managed to get each other through. NOW WHO WILL I TELL MY SECRETS TO? (Smile)
You are not alone in this matter. I am available and if you will allow us we will be the same kind of friend to you.
Feel free to call, visit or bend our ears. Thats what friends are for.
At the right time, you will hear from us in a special way.

Shelby,
Jack was a great man. We are truly blessed to have you as neighbors. We will miss him, riding his lawnmower and waving, sitting outside in his chair "just thinkin" he would say, and how he enjoyed his family. He was happiest when you were home and the house was full.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
