To Jack’s family I am so sorry for your loss. Many years have passed since he was my neighbor but I will never forget his kindness.
I am so sorry to learn of Jack’s passing. I worked with him at the University. He always tried to give his employees the benefit of the doubt. A truly kind individual.
My deepest condolences to you all.
So sorry you are going through this, my deepest condolences to all of you.
I met Jack and Corliss through a mutual friend and camped with them several times. Jack would show off his van at the Vantasia Truck In , and Jack’s van would usually win in his class. He was always proud of his van, and it was evident he loved his wife Corliss also. Rest In Peace Jack. We’re going to miss you.
I am sorry to hear about the death of Jack. I was a caregiver for Jack until his neighbor Ronnie Wyrick took him away. I took very very good care of jack. He will be missed.
