Not sure what to say?

Kristi, so sorry to hear about Jack. My prayers are with you, your children & his children & grandchildren.

I first met Jack when the Pleasant Heights and Ridgewood Community of Christ congegations merged, becoming the Good Shepherd Congregation. Jack was very helpful to us Deacons in adjusting to the new schedule. He was very likable, and I always enjoyed seeing him and working with him.

Jack will be remembered for many things. He touched our family as the greatest SKIPPO host ever. He helped so many of our church youth in Scouting and did so much around the church facility to keep everything on an even keel. Christi and Jack were always ready to do their parts. Thank you for being such beautiful examples.

Jack was a faithful friend and he and Christi touched our family's lives through Scouting, Church Work, and hours of playing skippo at the DeSelms' home. He will be missed and thought of fondly by so many. Thank you Jack for being a beautiful example.

Jack was the ultimate caregiver to our church home. With his many skills he made he made problems disappear and improvements happen. Jack set the bar in this ministry. Thank you for all you did.

our friend Jack will be remembered as a kind gentle man he is a joyful and dedicated servant of GOD if you were blessed to call him friend then it was a lifelong friendship he will be so very missed, another servant welcomed home.

I want to express my condolences to Kristy and Jack´s family. I realize Jack wasn´t living his best life towards the end but Jack lived his life to the fullest when he was able. For years, Jack spent a good part of each day working at Ridgewood and Good Shepherd Congregations. I could always count on Jack to help with whatever was needed. I, along with many others enjoyed coming to Jack and Kristy´s home for SkipBo. Jack has been missed dearly for some time now. God bless you Kristy!
