Not sure what to say?

There are so many things that I miss about Jack, his hugs, joking & teasing me, his cooking and most of all his love and closeness we shared. He may be gone but he will never, ever be forgotten. We all have lots of good memories with him and I will treasure mine always.

Sandy, Lynn & Phil: I can not believe it has been a year since we all came together to say good-by to Cactus Jack. We all miss him still as you do, but our memories live on every day. As I look a the pictures I have of all the visits to Salt Springs, I can relive all the fun we always have. Jack and his family are always a big part of that fun.
I will continue to pray for you all.
Love you, Kathy, JD & Mr. Frank

We ALL still miss you very much. Its not the same without you. Love, Fay and the Lake Wales gang.

Dear Daddy,
It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since you left us. I miss you everyday. I love you very much.

To Cactus Jack, my stepfather: Thank you for your service to this country in World War II. The lessons you learned as a young man during those times became the life you lived.

Uncle Jack cookin for everbody he could feed, And for giving of himself in the sage advice he'd give to young and seasoned folks...

"Cookin with Cactus Jack"

Chili Cook-off Memories

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure", a saying that certainly IS Cactus Jack. He made us all feel that we were treasures in his life but actually it was a "treasure" just to know him. Condolences go to all that knew him, it is our loss but God's gain. My love to Sandy, Shane, Lynn, Phil and family.
