bring you comfort to share with each other during this time. May you also have the peace and comfort
of our Heavenly Father Jehovah as promised by His son and our savior, Jesus Christ.
So sorry and sad to read of Jack’s passing. I thought the world of him as did Dan. If he saw me outside, he would stop or back up to chat and check on me. I have always appreciated that. I knew I could go to him (and Mary) at any time. He was a good man and I know Dan was happy to see him again! Will miss him very much as we all.
With much love, Pam.

It is a sad day, a lot of people loved this man. He has been a mentor for many a young man who have grown up hunting around him. He will be missed and now it is up to us, if we want to see him again.

Such a fine man. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. I had seen him at MUSC a few months ago but didn’t get to talk with him. I’d thought of calling him several times since. I’m sorry I didn’t.
