We will never forget the very day we met you in Fort Myers Fl 2000. You introduced yourself as Jack. Jack introduced himself as Jack. You became Jack North/ Jack became Jack South . A true friendship was born. We traveled together; spent winters as neighbors; visited each other. The 4 of us made many wonderful memories. Then life and new chapters began; but you and Anne were never far from our thoughts. We love you. Rest in Peace our friend.

My sincere condolences to the family. Cora Sue and Jack were who I remember fondly! Always wondering how they are. Now to hear of Jack no longer here is sad to me. I lift prayers up to God to give them comfort and assurance of the good life we can have with Jesus for eternity. Once again memories of Jack and his smile are mine to enjoy. Lois Washburn Stewart

I'm very sorry to hear about Jack's passing. I worked with him at James River in the 80's. I remember buying a 1980 marble white Saab 99 from him when my sister spotted him eating at Zack's car hop with a for sale sign on it. I always thought Jack was a decent guy. My condolences to the family for his passing. Rest in peace my friend!
