    I didn’t know Jack, but I do know that I had been playing he and his wife Barbara songs on Sunday Night Gospel. My condolences to his widow Barbara and his family.

    To my Grandpa, I would like to say that I wish I had gotten more time with you. I will always be grateful for the things you’ve done for me, I will always remember that you were there for me when I needed you, you were encouraging, and you made me proud of myself by showing me you were proud of me. You are great, and I am glad I have good memories with you and Barbara.

    Daddy I have never forgotten I was you’re little princess as a child nor have I ever forgotten how much of a good provider you were for our family I cherish our memories of staying in luxury at Daytona. My greatest beach memories of being on the beach was when you taught me the beauty of seeing the sunrise and sunset from our balcony. I’ve truly have always been proud of your military veteran status and the fact that you served for our country. love you and sadly miss you Liz
