I remember, we went to a few HHS football games together back in the day. I'm sure his family will miss him.

Rest in Peace and may God be with you Jack.
Frederick Lee Moss, Jr. (1965)
I was not close friends with Jack, but I know that when we were in school together, Jack was always nice and had something good to say, with everyone he spoke with at school. My prayers go out to Jack's family and friends, whom I know will sadly miss his presence around them.

To Jack's Family. I was in Jack's Class at Kecoughtan and I well remember his sign business. He was always drawing signs in school. I was so sorry to learn of his demise. May you be comforted at this time and know that he is in a better place where there is no pain or sickness. I've been there twice, but it wasn't my time and I had to return to mortality, but I would rather have stayed because it's so beautiful. I saw my grandparents the first time and the last time I saw my dad briefly, so KNOW that Jack is in a very, very special and loving place. May Heavenly Father grant you the peace and comfort you so deserve.
Sincerely,
Linda Thompson Coltes
