Alamance County has lost a great man. I worked with Jack many times during my years with Alamance County EMS. He was a great man and always a friendly one to be around.

Sorry to read of Jackie's death. My prayers will be with all the family, he is at peace with Jesus I know. We grew up together and were playmates. I can see him jumping boards still, and jumping rope with all the neighbors. As we grew apart after highschool and we moved also, I don't care where I saw Jackie, he had that always wonderful Smile of his and a BIG Hug !! Always made my day to run in to him. I thank God for him being in my life. There will never be another like him, RIP Jackie. I know his dad and mom are happy now. They to were great folks, Loved them all. This world needs more people like Jackie.

Audrey. I send my condolences to you and your family. I have known Jackie from the time he was little when I visited the Mann twins across the street from you. Our paths crossed again when he was with the Sheriff's office and I was Clerk of Superior Court. What a joy he was to work with! We didn't need security systems, we had Jackie. He always looked out for my staff. They don't make them like him, anymore. He was so proud of Jan and he and I talked basketball. WE LOVED HIM,TOO.
