Loving husband, father, and grandfather
Artist, businessman, philosopher, and comedian (he had it all)

Note: Jack had me take his picture of him lying in his cemetery lot to see if he would "fit" ....he would have approved of this picture being posted


I once asked Jack why he was born in NC... he said, "'Cause that where my Mama had me."

He disliked mayonnaise so much that he would tell any restaurant server: "If you put mayonnaise on my sandwich, I could die."

After graduating from Newberry College in 1964, he married Myrna Pitts(of Denmark, SC, Bamberg County) and began his career with The Chamber of Commerce. In Durham, NC, he served as Civic Affairs Manager of The Chamber of Commerce, and later was named the first full-time director of The Greater Durham Downtown Revitlization Program.
