It is said that when you lose someone a piece of your heart goes to Heaven. Jack was a friend and former co-worker at O Henry, Inc. and I share in the sadness of his loss. Judy and Karen remember the good times. Thinking of you.

I worked with Jack many years ago at O. Henry. What a kind and very wise man. He taught me a lot on how life works. His passion for his customers I use as an example in my work life to this day. What a sense of humor! He was one of the funniest people I ever met. Although it has been years since we seen each other, the lessons he taught me I still use in my life. Just like his Tarheels he will always be a Champion in my eyes.
