Betty, Mary and Pam and family we were saddened and shocked to see an obit. for Jack..we were searching for a new address . Jack has a great new home but we are thinking and praying for his girls now. Jack has been a life long part of our happy memories, our wedding the birth of our twins and too few chances to meet and be with each other. Jack played a major role in John joining the church and Jack and Betty what we have always wanted for our marriage. Wishing you all peace and joy in your...

Jack you were always a role model and inspiration to me. The world is a sadder place with your passing. You will be missed. Rest well brother.

Sorry I couldn’t attend the viewing or funeral. I appreciated Jack and you attending the viewing for Pete.

I remember Jack from McNeese, TKE & Army ROTC. He was always upbeat & friendly to everyone. He & Betty helped me deal with my Pop's suicide in 1991. I will always remember him with fondness & as a friend. I am saddened by his passing. Thanks for all the good times, Jack.

Betty, I was so sad to hear of your loss of sweet, talented Jack. I have fond memories of both of you and
our college years together. Loved the wedding picture and the video on his life. Love, prayers, sympathy and
condolences to you and your family.

My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to Betty, Mary, Pam and Dennis upon the passing of Jack, Jr. I have many treasured memories of times with them in the 60s and 70s while Jack was still in the service. My mother, Ann Hart Miller, Betty and Sue Clark Bruns were so close at that time and we children loved playing and being together. Later in the 80s when Jack was back and the family started O'Reilly Enterprises, it was great to see their operation grow and make an impact on SWLA. It has...

Betty and family, you are in my prayers at this time of loss. Jack led a wonderful life in his service to our country and to his beloved church.

Betty, you and your family are in my prayers.
