Jack was a driving force in keeping things going at St. John's Church. I enjoyed our interactions and the opportunities Jack suggested for how the scouts might help support the church that was their chartering organization.

Carrie & family,
Very sorry for your loss. Our sympathies you your entire family. Hoping the great memories you all shared of your Dad will bring a smile to you instead of the sorrow youre all feeling at this time.

Wonderful memories of our MYF days when Jack was in charge of our high school group on Sunday nights. He was so patient with us, as we always tried to give him a hard time. He was certainly devoted to St. John's Methodist Church. He and his entire family occupied the first four or five pews of the church at the last service held at St. John's. He was always there for anyone who needed someone.
