I had the pleasure of working with Jack at Yellow Freight System from 1982-1988.  He was a fine man.  My condolences to his family.

Jack was a business associate but more important I considered Jack and Nancy friends. Although competitors in business (I with CF and Jack with Yellow) it never felt that way. Although living miles apart and rarely seeing one another after retirement it seemed natural to speak of them and join them for dinner on our trips to KC. Jack was a wonderful business associate and friend. Diane and I feel the loss that I'm sure Nancy and family feel. Do Rest In Peace..

Jack was my friend and hunting/fishing buddy for many years. He was the consummate outdoors man, a skilled fisherman and expert shot. Best of all, Jack was a friend, good and true! I will miss you jack.  I know that if there is hunting in heaven, the deer, pheasant, quail and elk had better beware.  

Having worked with Jack for many years at Yellow Freight System and living in the same neighborhood with him and Nancy in Grandview, MO, I was proud to call him a friend.  You will be missed by many my friend.  R.I.P. Jack!

Jack was a very special man that was a great friend.    He made me smile each time he walked into a room.   He will always have a very special place in my heart.

Jack was one of the nicest & kindest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing!  Gentle, sweet and caring exuded through him.  One story I always love to share when talking about him is from about 11-12 years ago.  I had recently went thru a divorce and was in Missouri without any family.  One of his granddaughters Kara insisted I go to Thanksgiving with her.  Jack had met me a handful of times, but he wrapped his arm around me and said, “well dear, you’re part of our family now.”  He (and Nancy) always made me feel so welcomed. 
One more quick story!  I was remarried and was about 10 days from having a baby.  Stood on my feet all day and whipped up some wedding hair for another Granddaughter Jessica.  At the end of the day my poor feet were extremely swollen.  I wasn’t complaining at all but Jack saw them and commented “you better sit down and rest young lady!  I don’t know how to deliver babies!” Later on he checked on me and told me to make sure my husband rubbed my feet for me. 
Jack was always caring and concerned. He was a GREAT man that loved everyone,even non-family, with a great big wonderful heart.  He will be greatly missed.  

Nancy, Brent Cristy, Beth and families,
Jim and I are heartbroken for all of you.  We have a lot of fun memories over the years with sorority, dinners out and working with him at Julia's.  Our continued thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and the entire family. We wish you Gods perfect peace as you go through this difficult time. Love to you all,
Linda and Jim Mills
