I taught with Jack at Liberty Junior High. His students loved and respected him. He graciously shared his memories of World War II with his students and the history department. He was a remarkable man and a wonderful teacher and coach.

Butch, Scott, Dede, and Debbie,
I'm so truly sorry for your loss. Your dad created excitement in our house by turning us all into Dallas Cowboy's fans. He was great. And he meant so much to my dad. God's peace be with you.
