Growing up in Lindale with nothing but fond and loving memories of a sweet man named Cactus Jack. Me and my two brothers worked the fields. Maribel would sing and Cactus would always let me sit in the front of the truck and even have a pickle out of his jar. Will never forget his contagious laugh! Rest peacefully in Gods arms.
