Dear Jack,

You will be missed so very much. We had such a good time when we got together for dinner, or to go to a ball game, play minature golf. It didn't matter what we did, we had fun.

You were our rock with Virginia, Matt, and myself. There are no words to describe your generosity and caring manner.

Our dear Virginia was so lucky to have you to love and care for her.

We love you and will miss you always.



The Coffey Family

Vonie & Matt.

I worked 35 years at Zahner and Company with Jack and he was always there with his quick wit. If we needed a poem or special note, he was the one we all went to.

He will be missed by all of us.

I and my wife Cheryl thought of Jack as an uncle. He has dated my aunt Virginia for a lifetime. His witty jokes and toasts were great.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Buckner family at this time. Jack was a wonderful, thoughtful person. He will be greatly missed by the Meador family and my husband and I.

Jack,



We will always think of your great toasts at every dinner, your great wit at every dessert, and the sound of you music at very band concert.



Love,
