Bubba Jack was the exceptionally pure essence of a fine outstanding gentleman, and he will be missed by so many people. He was always exceedingly generous and helpful toward others as well as extremely pleasant and kind. I can still see him passing the offering plates at church and assisting in so many other ways. There is no doubt that he will be among the Lord's best in Heaven. Peace, prayers, love, and deepest sympathy to the entire family.
