Jack was a good friend back when I lived in my hometown. He was a graduate of our Novice Class in the late 70s. He was friends with my dad back in their childhood - part of the 'Vance Street Gang' in Laurinburg. I just recently thought to look him up only to find he passed away in 2014. RIP. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/l...?n=john-wilson-jones&pid=171974789&fhid=10092 Mods please notate his QRZ page accordingly.
