John F. Jack Lenker Jr.

"A soldier has passed away today." You have made your final march down the lonely dusty trail. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran and mason. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran and mason. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

Jack, was one of my best sales people, I enjoyed talking with him, and enjoyed visiting when he lived close to Palmyra, I believe I remember he was into horses when he retired, hopefully I can make his service and maybe bring along a group picture of all of the sales staff at the Patriot News. My sympathy to his wife and family. Jim Shoop
