Jack was a welcome addition to the family of Ruth's relatives. He was always cheery and ready to enter iinto any political discussion that came along. He brought his twin brother into the family and John was the balance to Jack with such closeness that we had never experienced before. Jack will missed in many ways and certainly the family get-togethers.
Jack, may te doors of heaven be open and the Master ready to show you the marvels therein..

Jack was one of the most kindest and generous individuals I have ever known.
He and his wife, Ruth Ann, always loved on others. Jack made the world a better place. Praying Jesus comfort, strengthen and carry all through the grieving process with Hope. Love in Christ, Patricia Adams Donley

Only once in a lifetime does a man have as good a friend as Jack was to me. We were fishing buddies, we were confidants. No matter how far apart we were geographically our friendship endured. I represented the Government and authority and Jack was the Champion of the less fortunate but we forged a friendship that lasted 47 years. It was a shock to me when I found out that Jack had passed away. I thank God that I was able to visit Jack and Ruth this past Dec. when I came to Paris for my mother's funeral. Jack was so important to my life that my grandchildren always wanted to hear stories of mine and Jack's fishing escapades. Doris and I still recount the many visits we had to see Jack and Ruth and we always looked forward to our return visits to Forest Hill even when we had to drive from Michigan or Colorado. Jack has a permanent place in our hearts and we will continue to support Ruth and visit her as we can.

Dear Ruth and Family,
Jack was the most genuine, caring man one may know. He never failed to go the extra mile to help others, and his love of mankind was evident in the life he lived. We will miss Jack, but his legacy lives on in the many lives he has touched and he will never be forgotten. May you find comfort in the sweet memories of Jack. Love, Bill and Sheryl Moore
