Just found out about Hack. I worked with Hack as a teenager at A&P and he was a joy to be around. Its been 40 years since I talked to him but I do have fond memories and will always associate the name of 'Hack" to my old friend. My thoughts and condolences to the Blalock family.

Cancer is terrible, and Hack put up a tenaceous fight! Hack is now with Jesus on the Other Side. Our prayers are so strongly expressed for the comfort and confidence Wanda needs now as the future unfolds. Father, please replenish her strength from this battle. And, Father, please be with Denny & Kevin and all of the family as we adjust to Hack's loss and cheerish the memories. Amen.
