With deepest sympathy,
Jack was a great distance runner and a leader on the Cross Country and the Track Teams at Ben Davis High School. He was well liked by everyone who knew him. Ben Davis High School Class of 1958
So sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing and talking to Jack when he would visit Sandy at the Newby Library.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
What an incredible man Mr. Jack was. We got to know the Bantley‘s through Brett in Carrie. We spent many days at their swimming pool , petting the goats, sledding, picking grapes and pears …and Mr. Jack would always say hi and visit with the kids , bring out Popsicles or water. He was ALWAYS working on something and he had the kindest heart. His love for Jesus was evident in his service and love to the people around him and especially his family.
Aunt Sandi, Carrie & Brian-We both have fond memories of Uncle Jack and his kindness. Keeping you and your families in our thoughts and prayers.
Brian, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
With loving memories of Jack.
