Jack was literally, "Gordon Ohio. He done so much through the years for the town and everyone in it. Always took time to speak and would go out of his way to help others. A very humble, hardworking man and we are at a great loss. May God have a place for him, as he is more than deserving. Don, I am sorry for your loss.
