Monte and Dillon Family, Your Dad was a wonderful man and would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. I had the privilege to visit with him during our days at Indiana Beechcraft. We would always talk about family, farming and raising cattle…..he loved Texas Longhorns and would tell me often that I needed to get a herd started as soon as possible……everytime I see a herd of longhorns I think of Jack. I know that God is holding him up in his hands and talking about how he was a good shepherd and touched the lives of so many people. We all will miss him dearly……our sympathy and love, Lew and Terri Collier Warsaw, IN
