Jackie will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and community.

I was very sorry to hear of Jackie's death. We were friends in the same grade at MHHS, participated together in some of the school's activities together, and graduated together in 1955. Also saw Jackie sometimes when we were students at the Univ. of Arkansas. We always stopped and had a pleasant chat with each other.
I offer my sincere condolences to Lynnell and all Jackie's family.
Bill Keys.

Jack was one of the finest men that I have known. He was a true friend and I will miss him and his humor. He was a Lion's Club member for many years and we appreciated his commitment and work for the Lions.
