Jack was one of my Best Friends in High School, We had a lot fun times together. He was a Great Story Teller & always had us captivated when out camping. We wrecked my Brothers Indian motor-cycle coming back from Clover,he was driving & drove it right into a ditch full of water, at a high rate of speed. He was driving & thought all you had to do was lean the bike (no matter how fast you were going) around corners. Well we didn't make. We took the bike to his house to clean it up, before taking it to my house. My Dad sold the very next week. We lost touch after high school. My he rest in peace. Thank goodness for the Gospel because we know that we will seen him again.

So sorry to hear of your loss! I have always loved him. I appreciated the love he had for his family. I have very fond memories of being at your house. I remember he was always outside working in the yard and trying to make things just a bit better. May the Lord bless you at this difficult time with the knowledge families are forever. Love you all!! Tammie, Travis and family
