I'm so sorry for your loss. I use to work at Sam's in New Albany and Jack was a regular customer. He was always so friendly and laughing with the employees and other customers (and in the summer time he would bring us homegrown tomatoes). He was one of my favorite customers and even after I quit and I would come into Sam's he was a favorite person of mine to sit and chat with. He will be greatly missed.

What can I say about one of my oldest and dearest friends. Our families grew up together.Kids about the same age doing the same things. The things I could write about, our hunting adventures are endless, and priceless. Jack and my father were like two peas in a pod. I have so many memories of the guy from childhood on into adolescence. To me, he was always a guy who had no fear. Go anywhere, do anything and have a hell of a time doing it. You'd be glad you were along for the ride. Love that guy like a 2nd dad.

Thoughts and prayers with the Endris family. Jack was always one of my favorite members of the old NACC where I grew up working in the pro-shop. I'm sure my father (Chuck) is already helping him with his grip on that practice range in the sky!

When our Dad died in 1989, Jack was the first one at the front door to console Timmy and me...I will never forget that moment...and always loved him for that.

I recently met Jack at Providence while visiting Mom. Each time I would enter the back door, Jack was quick to offer a friendly greeting and a smile. Rest in peace, Jack.
