I’ll always remember the two summers I visited you during high school. You let me drive your fancy orange Dodge Charger (I think that’s what it was) while you were at work. I drove little Nathan to McDonald’s for a happy meal and to the playground. Then I got lost coming home. 🤣
I’ll always remember your kindness to me and how much you loved me. I miss you dearly, especially your smile. I’ll always cherish being your niece.
I miss your calls and texts…. I still have the messages and often read them.
I love you Jack and wish you were here…. I could really use your advice and wisdom. I will miss you so much. But, thank you for the gift of being my brother. I learned through you anything in life was possible if you were willing to work for it.
Thank you,
I love you
Your brother,
Gary
I had the good fortune to work with Jack at Tandy’s Grocery. He taught me the value of hard work , persistence and kindness. He will be missed. John G. Baker
Jack was a dear friend, he will truly be miss. I had the pleasure working with him at Byron Jackson pump. He was a man of integrity, whose actions spoke louder than words. He had a special ability to make everyone feel seen, heard, and valued.
