So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He will be remembered in the hearts of many.
I will always remember Jack & JoAnn working side-by-side at Hamlin's. My sons & I still remember & enjoyed the Wednesday Special.
I remember going to the house to teach JoAnn how to use her 'new computer'.
She would introduce me as her 'computer teacher.
They are probably having a Grand Opening for 'Hamlin's - at its new location - Heaven.'

I grew up here in Muskogee and like most I was raised on Hamlin chips and dip. I have known Jack and Joann most of my life and I always would see them at the old Hamlin's siting in the back booth. What a great lost for our town. Their presence will be greatly missed. At least there is comfort in knowing Jack is with his beloved JoAnn now.
