So sorry to hear this. Jack was a great person. I always enjoyed visiting him in New Bern.
I have had the privilege to work, play, and learn from Jack. His attitude and overcoming challenges and circumstances of life inspired me. He was as tough a man, and as kind a gentleman as I have witnessed. My heartfelt sympathies to all his family.
We will certainly miss Uncle Jack. He was always a joy to be around and we loved to hear his stories about his growing up. We certainly enjoyed our 2 trips in late 2019 to visit with him and celebrate his birthday. Jennifer and Marty you can be proud of the way you took care of him. We will keep you in our prayers as we know you sill miss him in days to come. Enjoy the memories you will have.
