Sending prayers for his family. May God give you comfort and peace. I remember Mr. Jack would deer hunt in our area of Edgecombe County. He would eat at my Daddy and Mama’s store. I have served him hamburgers and hotdogs over the years. Lots of memories! He was a sweet kind man who loved to hunt and fish. He also did our counter tops in our house and very talented making cabinets. I know he will be missed.
