Dorothy And Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss of Jack. I'm so sad for you all.
He was a great guy and I know he's going to be sadly missed! Thinking of you all and sending hugs and deepest sympathy! Love Tina Swann

Jack and Dorothy have been part of our family for over 30 years. He was the best of the best. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our hearts go out to his family.

I first met George in the early 1980's as a member of the Earl Bomke Horseshoe Club. He was a seasoned veteran shooting in the "A" Class. More than a fine horseshoe pitcher George was a true gentleman. A true representative of that "Greatest Generation".

On several occasions I was fortunate to be invited to John Browns barn to witness George King, Nelson Blakely, Bill Wheaties and John Brown hold court and solve all of the worlds problems. Good friends and all food guys. Rest in Peace...

We are extremely saddened by the loss of our long time neighbor, church associate and family friend Jack and offer condolences, love and prayers for you Dorothy and your family.
Jack, my father Roger and others are more than likely enjoying a rousing game of horse shoes even now. Please let us know of anything that would make this time easier for you.
You are always in our thoughts.
Stewart Buecker and family

Dorothy and family,
