Jack was born on October 2, 1928 in Charlotte County, VA. He was a life-time dairy farmer, working in a field on his tractor was his greatest joy in farming.
Jack was an exemplary husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He taught his family what it was to love unconditionally without pause. He had an unwavering faith in God. Anyone who met him knew how much he loved his wife Phyllis, who was his best friend. He never missed a chance to tell people how special she was to him and how much he loved his family. He considered himself to be such a blessed man to have married the love of his life and to have built a beautiful life with her.
He will be missed dearly by his family, but he will live on in all of those lucky enough to have known him. Especially those of us who were so blessed to call him husband, daddy, granddaddy and great granddaddy.
A celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 2:00PM in Spring Creek Baptist Church.
