Prayers for children, grandchildren, Joyce and Ray. Jack was a cousin that we didn’t get to see enough but when we did see him it was always a pleasure to converse with him. Although due to everyone’s busy lives during our adult lives cousins don’t always get to visit but we love each other. RIP Jack. Love you.

Im Late expressing my condolences but wanted to add my words. Jack represents a large amount of my early childhood. we played there at the old Bates place near other relatives we loved. All of we kids loved baseball player with rubber balls and a good strong stick the girls played so we were a blended team. all good fun church, food and fellowship were just a part of our everyday lives. I later served with Jack in the US Navy at NAS Whidbey Island Washington. We Saw Each other less after the Navy Years But he was a good and faithful buddy. Visiting Margie and Carolyn when their health began to fail. I loved Jack very much and know he is in Heaven j
