Dear Jack & Judy: Dee and I are very sorry for your loss. I remember Jack spoke highly of his dad.

FYI, I retired in Sept. 2011 and am now a full time grand paw for our 3 granddaughters. God Bless your and your family.

An amazing man, who I became acquainted with in 1972 through Dr. J.M. Riddell, when my then fiancé, Mike Gibson, and I became engaged. We were trying to decide where to live while Mike completed his Masters Degree at TAMU/Tarleton in Stephenville, TX and I worked for the USDOT/FAA in FW. According to Dr Riddell, problem solved! Get married, move to Weatherford, Tx, and live in "Dr Jack's" apartments! And so our married lives for 13 years began in Weatherford, Tx! Little did we know the amazing man and his family we would come to know, respect, and admire in the coming years! May peace be with the growing Eidson family and the legacy created by Wanda & Jack Eidson for your friends, family, and especially the citizens of Weatherford.
