I did not know "Uncle Jack" well, but I know that my Gram loved him very much. She was his older sister, and recently passed as well. She always spoke about him with love, and I know she enjoyed caring for her little brother as they were growing up. My memories of Uncle Jack are good ones. I loved his voice, he always reminded me of Johnny Cash when he spoke! I remember my sister-in-law, Kelly, praying for him in my Gram's living room and him having tears in his eyes as she prayed. He said he was thankful that someone cared so much to pray for him. He was loved by His Lord and Savior even more! He will be missed. Rest in peace, and in Him, Uncle Jack.
