Thinking of you, Norita and family. May you find comfort in memories and the promise of God for eternal life. As many have stated; Jack touched so many of us and his smile will always be what I remember most! Donnice (Deatherage) Barnett
We remember Jack from about 62 years ago. He was an aspiring young preacher and traveled with Brother Paul Nichols for some time. During that time, Paul had a meeting scheduled in Ada, OK. (where we lived). We had planned to be married on June 1st, 1954, and Paul did the ceremony. He was also a good photographer so he showed Jack just how to do the camera to take pictures of our wedding. Ours was the first wedding Jack had been to so he was a bit nervous. Well, all went well, but the next day, we found out that Jack had forgotten to take the shutter out of the camera before he snapped the pictures so they were all blank. haha He was so embarrassed, but we wore our same clothes the next night to services and after services, Paul took pictures. We teased him mercilessly but he took it as we meant it. … all in fun. We've reminded him of it a few times since then. We always loved Jack and he will always have a very special place in our hearts. Our heartfelt sympathy to you Norita, and to all the family. Love and prayers. George and Velda Hill.
I would like to tell you how special Jack (and Norita) is to me. In Dec 1979 I was looking for a church . And so being raised in the church of Christ I set out to find the nearest church of Christ to where I lived. Which happened to be Garnett Road Church of Christ. On several occasions I drove thru the parking lot trying to find my way in the door, but because it was so big and I am pretty phobic about large crowds I couldn't bring myself to go in. (Now I believe the Lord was directing me differently) So on the way home from work one day I noticed 11th street (funny I had passed by many times before and never seen it) and I told Eric I would like to go and if he would go with me the first time then he wouldn't have to go again. So we went, and as most first time visitors do we rushed out the back door without hardly shaking a hand. So the next Sunday came around and we went again, but this time Jack beat us to the back door and we couldn't escape. He asked a few questions and before we knew it he had landed a bible study. Which now after 30 years of knowing him I realize that is his expertise. And am I glad, so the rest is history. He baptized me, and Eric and eventually Jeremy. Jack has always been my spiritual mentor, not that I follow Jack but I have always gone to him with bible issues or questions, seeking his advice and wisdom. And even though my worldly outlook shocked him a time or two he was very patient with me and helped me in my walk with Christ. I can still see him pointing that finger at me and hear the OH! Ho-Ho! laugh he gave me when I asked strange questions like â??? if this was a startup church and maybe I could be its first Sunday school teacher.â? We laughed together many times He has been more like family than anything. And I canâ??t think of Jack that I donâ??t think of Norita, we have seen some pretty fun days… get-togethers, bible studies, and once we even kidnapped Norita in her pajamas to play Sequence with us. They have kept my kids and I have kept theirs. We have played together, prayed together, laughed together, cried together, and growled at one another… you all are like home away from home I truly appreciate all the encouragement and direction given but most of all I appreciate the deep heart felt friendship extended to me and my family. I have missed Jack for a long time but I will always be thankful and never forget this special person who reached out and wouldnâ??t give up to show me there was a better way. I love him dearly..Susan Johannesen
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Jack and Norita have been such good friends for years. We enjoyed having them at our house so many times and enjoyed staying with them over and over. Jack and Jim were such good buddies and spent lots of time golfing together. I really am thankful for how encouraging he was to my brother years ago. He will be remembered and missed. Prayers are with you dear Norita.Love Joquita
I will always remember my time with Jack. In my youth when we lived in Oklahoma and he would come stay with us and we'd have great bible studies which some of his help has kept me strong through my youth to this day. I still use several of his notes and patterns in my teachings. I will always remember his laughs and silliness and continued support always. I will miss you always brother Jack, Rest in peace my friend.
Jack was a man of remarkable influence in my life. He helped bring my father back into the Church. He baptized my mother and taught her about true worship and Lord's Church. When I was young boy he studied with me about how to be saved and later he baptized me into Christ. Jack was incredibly supportive to me in my desire to preach. I love him with all of my heart and I long to see him again in glory.
He was in Midland, TX years ago. He found out that Al liked to play checkers and they played several games, laughing and enjoying their visit. We really enjoyed having him our home. May God bless and comfort you all !! Carrie Baze
He and Noritta were a blessing to me when Melissa was in the hospital @ Tulsa. I always enjoyed their visits and prayers. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers for the family during this difficult time. I always enjoyed hearing Jack preach in his distinctive style and down-to-earth manner. He will be greatly missed. Dorcas Freeman
