My memories of Jack and Marj go back about 60 years. I can remember visiting their home by the lake many times, with my parents. They were always hospitable hosts. And Jack's mechanical genius was often in evidence. I recall him showing us a working tractor he'd built, with a Mother Parker Tea can as the gas tank!
What impressed me most about Jack in later years was his clear Christian testimony. At several weddings of their children we attended, he gave a wonderful word of witness to his faith in Christ to the assembled guests.
My wife and I have lived in the west for over 20 years. But Jack has kept in touch by phone, letters, and e-mails. His promotion to Glory is wonderful for him, but a great loss to those of us who have known and loved this godly servant of Christ. May the Lord comfort and encourage Marj and the rest of the family.
