Hard to believe but I have known my friend Jack for 70 years plus. First met up with Jack at Franklin Elementary School around 1946. We managed to keep in touch over the years even as we went different ways. I did business with Jack for many years when he had The Cook Agency. Always a pleasure to deal with him. Although haven't been in touch these last fews years I will surely miss him.

We have lost a good friend and a great Lion. John supported his community in so many ways The Palmer Lions Members worked hand in hand with Jack in so many endeavors. Always a willing and able participant, he serving in every office position from President to Tail Twister, he always was there to lend support. Our heartfelt condolences to Irene and family. We have missed him. God keep him close.
