My wife and I loved Jack dearly along with his amazing wife, Jo. We met them around 1985 and stayed in touch all those years, occasionally staying in their home in Tulsa. They prayed, loved, and supported us and our ministries in so many incredible ways. We will never forget Jack, a role model to me in so many areas of life. I shared a tribute to him on my Facebook page, if interested. https://www.facebook.com/steveshadrach
I lift up Jo and the whole family right now.
I met Jack while walking in the neighborhood; I would finish my walk there so I could admire the house and grounds. One day he happened to be picking up his mail, giving me the opportunity to express my admiration. His welcoming and curious nature struck me, as well as the class that many men of that generation seem to possess - he reminded me of my own parents, also from that time period. I left our conversation feeling quite warm, and will miss running into him during my walks. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
My best friend Sydnie loved Jack & will be a part of the welcome home . All my heart & prayers to Jo & family. Cindy Jackson 🙏
