John Austin Tate Jr.

Dear Caroline and John, My name is Lora Leslie Scott Diaz and my mother Teresa Scott loved and admired your parents very much and has so many good memories of them both. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I visited with Jack and Dolly back in my college days and also during childhood visits with my family. It is funny how vivid some memories can be, however few, and those I have of your parents are very clear. They were lovely people, always kind and gracious. I am sorry we have...

Caroline, I have just heard of your father's passing from my mother Helen's (maternal) first cousin Teresa's daughter Elizabeth. I am very sorry for your loss. Your father sounds like an amazing man, who lived a full and fruitful life. I hope you and I will meet in the not distant future. I am, Sincerely, your cousin of some degree,

John and Caroline, I just learned of the passing of your father. As he was with many others, he was a mentor and role model to me. I often tell others that he was one of two men who most influenced my banking career. He will be remembered and revered. May God bless you and your family.

Marji, John, and Caroline - We heard of Uncle Jack's passing tonight. Mom and Dad talked tonight of how much they loved Uncle Jack. He was a great friend to them and a great "uncle" to me. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. - Susie

Dear John, Claire and family: Mike and I have had you in our thoughts and prayers since last evening when we heard that Mr. Tate had passed. May your memories help you through this difficult time. We plan to visit with you tomorrow afternoon. Just wanted you to know that we are here for you, Mike and Jane
