Jack made his home in MacArthur with daughter, Jennifer. He was a member of the Oak Grove Christian Church and each Sunday they would bring communion to him and prayers. We want to thank them for their faithfulness.
He was a patient of Hospice and really enjoyed the nurses, aids and social service that came regularly to visit. His favorite hospice caregiver was Connie Smith. Jack had a caregiver he considered his daughter, Charlotte Parks who was very good to him and he loved her.
Jack loved family and especially when we all got together to play music, eat or play set back. He could play any instrument by ear, fiddle, guitar, banjo and mandolin. He really loved his grandchildren.
