So sorry to learn of Bobby Jack's passing just today, Feb. 16th. Memories go all the way back to childhood. We know from the obituary that you have a wonderful and large family. He was a cousin, a classmate and friend of whom I was very proud. In later years he went with me to Madisonville to see my son Don's football team play. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
