  5. We are really going to miss our great neighbor, Jack. He was the most friendly neighbor always with a smile and thoughtful words. I don’t think you will ever know a gardner and yard manicurist better than Jack. I will miss the sound of his leaf blower in the fall and the great care he took with his yard, gardens and his home. My fondest memory of Jack was when he gave me a tour of the new renovations throughout First Baptist Church a few years ago. He was so proud of the work at the church which turned out to be gorgeous. He was a very caring and gentle man that all of us in the Rose Hill valley will greatly miss. Heaven’s newest gardener, rest in peace. +

  6. Jack will be greatly missed at First Baptist. Jack was my buddy. I greeted at the atrium door at First Baptist Church on some Sundays. Jack was always at this entrance every Sunday. There was not one child(young) or youth age that Jack did not know their name. Besides all adults, the children and youth will greatly miss Jack. Jack was one in a million that was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. Condolences to all Jack’s family.

  7. Jack was a fine man. I remember him as a young man from family gatherings, and also had the pleasure of conducting business with him when he was with Biltmore Company. He was always pleasant and honest in his business dealings.

  11. Jack was a faithful Christian man and a friend. He was a member of our Sunday school class Brothers and Sister in Christ’s Service(BASICS) for over 30 years. We loved Jack and Louise whether praying, singing, or having fun with them. We will miss his friendly face and his gentle welcoming hugs. He was faithful to First Baptist as a deacon and and a as member doing whatever needed to be done.
