Long time friend will be missed by all of the Lincoln family. Jack helped boys repair vehicles all through their school years and when his name is mentioned there is immediate reaction and rememberance of each vehicle he assisted with. A good friend !! Those of us in the insurance claims business always remember Jack and all of his associates in Justin who played a big part in making Justin the salvage capitol of Texas. A good friend!!
