Folks Of Interest Rest in peace Jack Walker

I remember Jack pumping gas at Del's (Delmer Moody) , wearing a chrome coin changer on his belt, and a roll of money in his pocket (his cash register). Always a smile and easy going. I don't believe Jack would say s**t, even if he had a mouth full of it. Might say "Son of a Buck" though.

Any other memories of Jack?

You know, living to be 86 is a feat in itself, and sometimes I hope i make it that long, but the bigger thing to me, would be knowing that when I left this life, I made an imprint on folks, and would be remembered. Mark I'm sorry man, we're running out of buddy's, but you can rest assured that you've made an imprint on a lot of guys, just like Jack. RIP ol timer

 

Another Legend Gone!

Rest In Peace Brother.

Our Deepest Sincerest Condolences To all Of Jack's Family, & Friends!

 

Jack was a good friend to have
And a better person to be admired
He always had a smile on his face
There is getting to be a hell of a show
In heaven
God bless you Jack
