I remember Mr. Starnes as regular sight at White Oak Lake when I was a child in the early sixties when there were still trees for the lanes and it seemed much bigger then...he was always polite and my grandfather, M.T. Pate, talked highly of him. He is with my grandfather now and I hope they are talking over the good times...

Dear Starnes Family, I am so sorry to hear about Jack. I have known Jack for many years, especially when i was a little girl . I have so many memories of Bluff City and being at my grandparents house (James & Mary Lee Byrd) and the fun i had at Jimmy & Mary Ann Starnes playing with Tina . A few months ago i had called and talked with Jack about our family history and he gave me some information on our Starnes side. Please know my prayers go out to all of you.
