a brief illness.

Visitation will be at 1:30 p.m. to service time Monday at Metropolitan Baptist 
Church. A funeral service in thanksgiving for his life will be at 2:30 p.m. at

Jack was a kind, Christian man, a friend to many and a stranger to none. His 
remarkable wit brightened everyone's day. His keen business acumen brought him 
success in his endeavors in the oil industry, rising to the position of general 
sales manager of Cameron Iron Works during his 25-year tenure. He then started 
Brannco Inc., a highly successful brokerage company, serving as CEO.

In his free time, he was an avid sportsman, enjoying hunting and fishing with 
his friends and grandsons.
