John Edmondson Obituary
Jack graduated from Permian High School in 1963. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1968 with a BS in Economics and stayed one more year to receive his Masters in Finance. Jack went on to serve in the United States Air Force Reserves being honorably discharged in 1974.
Jack and his twin brother Jim were absolutely inseparable growing up. Even into their later years, the two interacted daily. They spoke the same way, had the same facial expressions and even chuckled just alike.
Jack was an airplane enthusiast and loved to collect and research guns with his grandson Tyler. He was known as a problem solver and was always looking to help others to make their lives easier. Jack had a generous heart and always went overboard with gifts to make sure everyone was well taken care of. He was a penny pincher when it came to himself though and loved to search for bargains. He also managed the family estate and all affairs of the family farm.
Jack's biggest love in life was his family and visiting his family farm in Wynne, AR.
Jack's daughter Jame says "I will miss my Daddy. I will always be his little girl and 'Angel Cake'. I know without a doubt that my Dad is with the angels and my son now. In that, I have hope."
Jack was preceded in death by his grandparents, Anthony (Tobe) and Blanche Edmondson and Dave and Ms Woody Tyer; parents, Dr Paul and Doris Edmondson; grandson, Tyler Harris; and brother-in-law and best friend, Chris Grissom.
Jack's survivors include his daughter, Jame Sealey and husband John; granddaughter, Christina Cole; twin brother, Jim Edmondson, DDS and wife Rudi; sister, Kay Grissom; and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held on April 19, 2022, at 11:00 AM with a visitation for family and friends to be held one hour prior to the service at 10:00 AM at Autry's Carroll-Lehr Funeral Chapel. Jack will be laid to rest at 2pm, Wednesday, April 20, 2022 at Memorial Park Cemetery in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

I am so sorry for your loss, Jim and Kay. I have such fond memories of you three during those summers you came to Wynne to visit your grandparents. Your grandfather would take us all to the lake to water ski. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your brother, Jack.
