My deepest sympathy & prayers to the Gaines family. Jack was very fond of all his kids and Grandkids and was delighted to share the wonderful stories. Jack was my most respected mentor and inspirational co-worker for many years until his retirement. Jack helped make work fun in many ways. Certainly will miss him down here.
Thank you & God Bless until we meet up again.
