Not sure what to say?

I just found out that Jack has passed. He was very special to my husband, Jim Cashman, who worked closely with Jack on management issues with the company. Now both are gone. I greatly enjoyed hearing Jack talk about his art. Jack came to see Jim in the hospital several times before he passed in 2011 and it meant a lot to him. We will remember Jack as a person with a joy for life and a great appreciation for the arts.

Sincere condolences for your loss. He was a man of purpose and integrity and will be dearly missed - Jeremiah 29:11.

May you celebrate a life well-lived and cherish the many memories created along the way.
May you find strength & gain comfort and God's loyal love.
Psalms 103:8

Condolence to the Warner Family...
For sixty years, Jack has been a very special friend. Together, we had many enjoyable talks
about his art collection, Alabama sports, and
the "Rocket Eight" basketball team that he
supported at Alabama in the earlier 1950s. All my visits with Jack will never be forgotten and he will be greatly missed.
God Bless!

We are thankful to have known Mr. Warner. Always looked forward to hearing him speak as he was so knowledgeable about art, history, community, etc. One of a kind, that is for sure. We will miss him. Teresa & Gary Blaylock

My mother Rosemary Hylton Turner knew Jack Warner and his mother both during the construction of Gulf States Papermill in Demopolis AL. She held them both in high esteem. Your family has my condolences and prayers.

This fine man and vital employer that allowed so many households to thrive will be truly missed. Son of Mary Stella Lancaster.

It was my pleasure and honor to work with Gulf States Paper for 37+ years. After moving to the current building, Mr. Warner would be looking at the paintings on our floor making sure that they were in the right place. It was a pleasure to hear him talk about the paintings and the artist as he made me feel like I knew them personally. Bless you all during this time and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm thankful, and it was an honor to work for your company, Gulf States Paper. May the blessings of God be with you.
