So sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. I met him when he came to help us make Braille Bible. He was such a delightful man. I always looked forward to seeing him. Everyone in Heaven are lucky to have him with them now. God Bless the rest of his family here on earth.
We loved Uncle Jack so much & enjoyed visiting with him & hearing about his latest adventures, which were still SO many for his age!!! His fun personality and laughter were contagious and we will miss him immensely. I only wish I had known him longer… thank you Lord for such a wonderful Uncle!!!
Thank you god for allowing me to have known such a wonderful man. Uncle jack always put others before himself and was one of the happiest men I’ve ever been around, a great role model and friend. The world is definitely a lesser place without him in it and at the same time heaven is rejoicing to have him. Love and miss you uncle jack
It was such a blessing to have known Mr Jack. We shared such fun moments of laughter while at the Fairhope Elks Lodge. He will be truly missed by so many.
