Not sure what to say?

I find it so hard to believe that Jack has been gone a year! The first thing I thought of entering Timmons Arena this year was how much Jack would have enjoyed this past season! He was so instrumental in helping me as a young coach and teacher at Hillcrest!

Lynda and I are so sorry to hear this evening of Jacks passing.
I often recall our time in SC while working at Cryovac and the kindness of jack and Audry extended to us.
Jack was very influential in my early career with W.R. Grace and was an excellent teacher for me. He was also my friend and a friend to our children which we will always cherish.
May Jack rest in peace.
Our love to Audrey and family.

Always enjoyed knowing Jack during my time in the Legislature. He was always available to answer questions as they relatated to his industry!

Dear Audrey and Family,
I was saddened to hear the news yesterday of the passing of a beloved man, supporter and friend. Jack was "special"; the heart of a loving servant. He helped countless of people to aspire and reach their dreams. He will dearly be missed, but live long in my memory of the man that loved Simpsonville and Furman University. " - Matthew 25:21

Jack and the entire family will always remain in my fondest memories! He was a huge influence in my teaching career, and I know his loss will be felt by thousands of people. If anyone has earned his heavenly reward it would be Jack! I will miss seeing him at Furman ballgames! My sincerest sympathy and love to each of you, Pat Grills

Dearest friends:
You know you have my deepest sympathy.
The influence Jack has on me is simply too big to describe. He was and still is a role model of personal character and public leadership for me. One Sunday
in Sunday school he talked about the Greek origin of the word "ethics". It has stuck with me ever since.
No doubt because he lived the word as well as he spoke of it.
Lovingly,
Tom Norrell
