    Julie, I would like to extend my (and everyone here at Technologies For Tomorrow) deepest sympathies to you and your family. It was always fun when Jack would stop by to discuss his latest idea for helping children or people in need. He always had helping others on his mind, and the gears were always turning as to how to do it. He will be missed by this community, but we take consolation and joy in knowing he is now in the hands of our Heavenly Father.

    Thank you Jack.

    Julie,

    India and I are praying and thinking about you daily!
    We are so sorry for your loss and anything we can do to help please let me know.
    Jack taught me alot about life and I always considered him one of my greatest mentors. It was truely a shock when Jack first called me with the news but he and your entire family are fighters and I know he would want to see everyone remembering all the good times and not focus on the negative.

    We love you Jack and will miss you greatly.

    Julie, you know I miss Jack. He is like a big brother to me. A man of God who not only knows who he is but more importantly WHOSE he is!! Jack’s concern for people…all people is awesome, especially the poor and Blacks & other minorities. As I think about Jack, our first meeting, that four hour breakfast at IHOP and the growing brotherhood we developed. His concern for autistic children, good clean housing, job opportunities, better education and a better life for folks in Century & Escambia County saw no color, no race and no sex. Jack is indeed an example of a gentleman, a gentle man, a son of God, a friend, a brother and, most importantly, a husband. The love he showed you and to you enviable. The way he talks about you and his love for you would make any man blush and any woman desire him for her own. We are going to miss him yet we know he is still watching over us every day. I hope Century realizes that it has lost a man who only wanted the best that Century HAS to offer.

    God let us here finish the work Jack started and strived to complete in Your Name, to Your Honor and in Your Glory!!! And may God comfort and fortify you, Julie, and your family as well!!
