I met Jack and Pat when I worked at SSCC and they were the janitors. Jack was a hard worker and was friendly. He always had a word of wisdom about life. Pat I will keep you and the family in my prayers. I know he will be missed by many.
I will miss waving at him as he passed our house. He always waved. Judy and i are sorry for your loss. God Bless you All.
Jack and I were close friends at Piedmont, tried to locate his whereabouts and never could find his residence. He was just a good brother in the Lord and I celebrate his legacy he has left behind.
Pat and family so sorry Jack was a good friend and always a part of our family loved by all.
Dear Pat and family… I am sorry to hear about Jack’s passing but know he is with the Lord and with Mom and Dad. We always thought the world of y’all! Dad always had a story seems like when I was growing up about something he or Jack did at work. I’m so glad I got to know him and always enjoyed seeing him at the Jonesborough Post Office when I’d be making a delivery! God bless you all! Another reason Heaven will be bright and fair!!

Pat, I am so very sorry for your loss. Jack was a dear and kind man, and I will always remember him for his humor, generosity, and caring spirit. Rest In Peace, Jack.
To Jack's family, I am so sorry to hear of his passing but know he is with the Lord. He was my Sunday School teacher and someone who took an interest in me. I remember going to an ETSU football game with him. He was always a friend. Praying for you all.
