Dear Jackie,
Just saw the article about your dad's death. I didn't know him but, I am so sorry for you and know that he'll be missed.  Your cousin Stephanie

Dear Jackie,

Just saw that your dad passed away. Mr. Veach, as he was known by the nurses at Brookwood, was a great man who led by example. 
I have many happy memories of working with him. He was devoted to doing his best for patients and staff. On many occasions he shared how we could do things more effectively to serve patents and be better a steward of resources.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Jackie,  
Your dad was a class act.  He was the hardest working person I have ever known.  He could not leave a broken piece of equipment alone and was able to somehow patch all of our equipment in the ER well beyond the lifespan one could reasonably expect of any piece of equipment.  He was a Godly man.  I never heard him say an unkind word.  He lived a life of Christ by example.  I smile as I think of him going through the pearly gates and hearing the hinge squeek.  You and I both know he will go get his took kit and have it in fine working order in a flash.  He was truly one of the greatest generation.  We will all miss him.  Rick Phillips

Jackie, he was one of those rare people that liked everyone. He was always happy and friendly. He used to tell some good stories and make everyone laugh. We all are going to miss him.

Jackie, now our dads have met again in heaven as Daddy greeted him at the gate.  Daddy arrived Dec 13, and buried on Dec17,2014.  They will remember moving us into the dorm at Nursing School on Aug8 1964.  We were next door neighbors and assigned the same Group1A.  Now, since we know we are all known by name in heaven, and with their have served togeth during the war, and loving their girls, they will be walking the streets of heaven together and singing with the heavenly choir.  I will plan on being there with you for visitation and service on Friday.  My no is 256-739-6079. Home.  Cell is 256-338-8323.  I work at churchoffice 1-4:30., but I can call you.  Please private message me your numbers.  Love you Jackie.  Yout BBH Sisters will be there with you.  See you Saturday.

We already miss you, Papa.   But we will see you again some day.  Keep Dusty, Heidi, Grace, and Maggie in your care.   And thank you for so warmly making me part of your family.

Jackie, Eric and family- you are all in my prayers. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Your friends at RPS are only a phone call away if we can do anything for you.

Jackie, your dad was a blessing to everyone he came into contact with.  Also, I know he loved you dearly and that you made him proud.

Thank youPapa for everything. Sleep well and we will see you after a bit. Carol & Warren Green

Jackie, I am so sorry for you and Eric's loss.  Your dad was the greatest.  Those days he helped us out in the ER were priceless.  He was always smiling and offer the best hugs.  God blessed you with these years with him.  What he gave you will always remain in your heart.  I can see him and Ruth now!

What a wonderful man! He made the best chocolate chip cookies that helped get many of us through BBH nursing school days!  He will be missed by so many here but he is with the Lord & is rejoicing always!

We will miss Mr. Jack so much.  He was the best neighbor and always willing to help anyone in need.  Our hearts go out to his family but rest in knowing he is in Heaven and we will see him again.
Ric and Donna

Jackie, We are deeply saddened of the passing of your dad. He was a fine man who would do anything for anyone. He will be missed greatly. He is rejoicing with your mom and is whole again. We are praying for you and your family. If we can do anything for you, please let's us know. You have done so much for MY dad.
