Thelma and family, I am so saddened to hear of Jack´s passing via our church pulpit for prayers. Jack was always so friendly and upbeat. I know he was a friend of Jack Faddis and Paul Griffith, all three are probably sharing stories in heaven now. May they Rest In Peace. God Bless, Marolyne Williams

So sorry to hear the passing of my friend and coworker for many years at the IRS. I will miss the luncheons that he Dave and I had over the years reminiscing since retirement. Jack was one of a kind. A dedicated company man with integrity. Often humorous. Always had an engaging story to tell. A loving family man to his wife and kids. I will miss him. Rest in peace, Jack.
