Although our knowledge of Jack is limited, on behalf of our class, we send condolences to his family and friends. May Jack rest in God's heavenly arms.
If you know of any of our classmates who have died and are not in our "In Memory" section, please notify Alice Shemet Rubright or Shirley Bowes Johnson. Often we don't get any information other than the death of a classmate so our comment section is not as informative as we would like.

I hate to hear this again. Though Mary and I have our own problems, by God's grace none that are terminal at this point. It is given by God that every person will die once, does not mean they will not live again.
I pray for his family as I would do for all who join the reunion in paridise, where we will not need name bages as a new body and soul will be with all.. God bless him. Lynn

I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I dated Jack after he graduated from Texas Military Academy and while he attended Vanderbilt. He later went on to Law School at FSU. Christie Kalivokis introduced Jack to me on Clearwater Beach!Jack was a wonderful man from a very nice family and I am grateful to have had the privilege of knowing Jack and his family.p
