Jack D. Minore

Jack was a good man, a thoughtful leader and a true citizen who committed time and energy to so many worthy causes. He will be missed.

WITHOUT THE HELP OF JACK, MY IDEA TO CREATE A MUSICAL SERIES CELEBRATING THE FLINT AREA'S CULTURAL DIVERSITY WOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO FRUITION. WITH HIS HELP AND GUIDANCE, MUSIC IN THE PARKS ENJOYED A GLORIOUS 24 YEARS. HE SHALL BE MISSED. HE WAS A TRUE GUIDING LIGHT.

Memories. I have always respected Jack for his intellect and dedication to his family and ALL people.

Jack was an old friend of my late father George and mother Sandy-the Plum family remembers him well and spent many gatherings; (Memorial weekend picnics at Kearsley park). The city of Flint will miss him, but he leaves a great legacy.

One of Flint's finest has passed. Thank you Jack. Your family is in my prayers.

Jack made a difference and had the rare quality of making good things happen whether it was in his role in education, city government, or state government.
