We met in the U of Iowa as new members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Even with all his successes, he was humble and down to earth. Sharing time with him was a joy and a pleasure. He was a true friend, and I will miss him greatly.

Chuck and I both send our deepest condolences to the entire Laughery family. Jack certainly left his indelible mark and legacy to not only Rocky Mount, NC...but to all he contacted. Many students at Nash CC will receve an education, thanks to the Jack and Helen Laughery Endowment Scholarship Fund.....truly a perpetual gift of knowledge and success that is priceless.
May Jack rest in peace....
