Jack loved all things outdoors, and he was never seen without a cup of coffee or a big smile. He enjoyed gardening and his many flower beds, his German Shepherd, Hank, and all the many cats that showed up on his porch that he fed. He also was a fantastic cook, and no one could make fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans better than him. He adored his family whose hearts are broken but look forward to the day they will see him again.

The visitation will be Thursday, June 28^th from 2-8 and the funeral Friday, June 29^th at 11:00 am, both held at Hillcrest Christian Church. He will be laid to rest at the Old Union Cemetery in Fayetteville. Family and friends may express condolences at www.daycarter.com.
