He purchased Jack’s Garage in 1965. Jack was the greatest mechanic in WEST TEXAS at Jack’s Garage. He was a dedicated and faithful father, pawpaw, uncle, brother-in-law and a friend to many. He had a heart of gold. He never met a stranger. He had a passion for all types of projects, the harder the project the better for him, you name it, he would claim it!
Mr. Jack was a member of the Faith In Christ Christian Church where he served as a dedicated Deacon until his health failed him.
Mr. Jack molded, inspired, and cultivated not only his family but others in the community as well; he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
