Todd, thank you for talking w/me about your Dad the other evening. He was a fine man & it was always comforting to know that he was there & that he would plant sun flowers for Melanie & I. For some reason, it was like I still had a link to my best friend & your sister, Melanie, as long as your Dad was there. I also have bluebirds (my neighbors are very jealous) because of his houses. He will be missed by many.

We have bluebirds here in this old neighborhood of well seasoned oldsters because of Mr. Luck. When we head down courthouse, a feeling of peace fills the car when we pass the humble home of Mr. Luck. When you drive into other areas where the homes eclipse the sunrise and not a bird or a birdsong is enjoyed, here is so appreciated. Mr. Luck is leaving a legacy greater than imagined for us to share in. My head will continue to look right every trip out and as I toot at Mr. Reams, thankful I am for the wide open space because of all of you all. Much sadness and love, your neighbors.

Jack will be missed by so many friends, family and people who really didn't know him at all, except for his beautiful sunflower garden. His sunflowers were a ray of sunshine even on cloudy days. They have graced my table more than a few times. I will miss his infectious smile and seeing him puttering around out in the yard. God bless his tomatoes---they were the best! Rest in peace in the Lord's house, Jack. Love Bobbie

John Todd, I was sad to hear of the passing of Jack. I will miss going to his garden for veg. and hearing his stories of old-times. Courthouse Road will never be the same however, we will never forget him in our hearts.
