Dear Ones, I remember Bro. Jones went as chaperone on the choir trip to the Hemis Fair of 1968. He was a very nice person as was Mrs. Jones. I know you will miss him terribly. I am thankful that we as Christians do not have to grieve as those who have no hope. I am praying you will be comforted by the Great Comforter as only He can. Sincerely, Rev. Russell Cowger

Brother Jack conducted funeral services for my precious Father and Mother, Chester and Alma (Logue) Carter. He gave my family comfort, peace and love at a difficult time. He was a blessing and greatly loved by my family.
Brother Jack was a wonderful example of faith and love of the brethren. I will cherish his memory.
We send our thoughts and prayers to the family.
