Thomas Latham Obituary
Born on March 6, 1945, Jack was a lifelong resident of Highland Springs. He shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, the late Josie Crisp Latham. Together, they raised two children, DeAnna Latham Lewis (Gary) and George Alan Latham II (Shannon). Jack was the proud grandfather of six grandchildren who brought him endless joy.
Jack was a man who loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating and camping at the river with friends and family. In his retirement years he found great happiness traveling to the islands and taking cruises.
A hardworking and dedicated man, Jack was self-employed for over 25 years as the owner of B&L Sheet Metal. His work ethic, generosity, and easygoing spirit made him deeply respected and loved by many.
Jack will be remembered for his adventurous, fun loving spirit, and his unwavering love for his family. He will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
He will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery at a later date.

Oh my Jack, where in the world do I start? in your retirement years at the river, that's where I met you in 2008. You took me to Someone's boat after hours and we both reminisced about our deceased spouses. After that it was just "game" on.. lol oh the memories and the laughter till I cried and thought I would die from lack of air. you were such a mess , but a mess I always loved being around. so many memories I could literally write a book on how to have fun when you never thought you would again. I will always thank God for putting you in my life when I really needed someone that understood. the loss. I sure hope you will take Josie and look for my parents because I know you all will connect, Peace be with you, forever and ever. love you.

We had fun sweet childhood memories. My first cousin. I will miss his occasional calls to catch up as adults. He was an uplifting positive person who loved people. Love you Jack. Janet and Dennis Chartier
