Jack was a dear friend we talked about Steptoe and Colfax and all of the Ray’s in Colfax and guns and lots of stuff over the last 12 or so years. We had the privilege of drinking coffee with him most mornings. We talked about his faith and his assurance of where he was going he was a great person that we enjoyed dearly. We miss him dearly.
Such a good man; so many good memories of him from my youth to just this year! Evelyn, Rick and Elaine I know your loss is great and our sympathies are with you now. Jack was the best of a great generation and I feel privileged to have known him, and treasure the memories I have. Evenings spent at “the little house” where we were always welcome, a ride to graduation from basic training and the endless therapy sessions where I always came out feeling better. God bless you all and keep you in his promise.
