Jack got both Diane and Charlie involved in AARP which we are grateful. Both Hope and Jack were good friends. Jack was a very special person with great ideas to the very end. We will both miss him deeply.

Jack was a wonderful friend to all of us at AARP Arkansas. He was loved and admired by volunteers and staff alike. We recall with great fondness the day in 2013 when he won our highest volunteer honor - the Ethel Percy Andrus Award. May his memory be a blessing and a comfort to his beloved wife, Hope, and to his many friends and family members.
