(I apparently neglected to sign my comments on 02/13 about God sharing Jack with us, so became anonymous. I will sign off now!)

Jack was one of a kind. A true gentleman. I bought 2 cars from him. Lena has lost a great spiritual giant and I'll pray for Marilyn daily.

I'd also like to add my condolences to Marilyn and family. Jack and I graduated together in 1954 from Lena High and later became neighboring land owners on McConnell Road.
Wish we could have gotten together for more class reunions.

Marilyn and family, My heart goes out to you knowing the hurt of loss in this life. The hope of eternal life removes some of that sting, and I am thankful you know about that. All of us who grew up in Lena in the past 70 years owe a debt to Jack for all he contributed to our community. I praise God for sharing Jack with us!

In memory of Jack.
Condolences to his wife Marilyn and their family.
I bought a car from Confer Chevrolet years ago and it marked a time before my life changed in Lena.
Many memories made there.
May God be with you in this loss and comfort you in the days to come.
