I had the privilege of meeting "Jack" in the early stages of my mortgage lending career. His debonair and professional persona made a lasting impression. I am grateful for his willingness to share his wealth of knowledge. May the family find comfort in precious memories. May God bless and keep you.

I knew Jack from his office, the golf course, and the pool room. In each of these aspects of his life, he was very well thought of and carried himself as a true gentleman. Everyone admired him. Jack will be missed.

We are going to miss "Jack" not only as a closing attorney but also as a friend. He would always make time for small talk when I would see him out. He was indeed a man of great character in every way. I have been closing loans with Jack since 1981.

What a great man and a fantastic real estate closing attorney! Jack was one of the few attorneys in Macon who answered his own phone when you called and handled situations himself. He was a personal and southern gentleman and had a love for people and the real estate business. He was loved by the real estate community and the folks of Macon. My deepest sympathy to Janet and the children. Anna Roberts, Rivoli Realty

I was sorry to read of Jack's passing. He was greatly respected in the real estate community as one the best closing attorneys in Georgia. He was always honest, thorough, knowledgeable, kind, and sincere. He always was willing to help younger lawyers, whether it was in the record room with a title issue or about how to handle a particular problem that they were facing in a closing of their own. He was loved by many and will be remembered dearly by all those who knew him.
