I am saddened to hear of Jack’s passing. He and my dad, Earl, sure did tell some stories. The last time I spoke with Jack, about a year ago, he told me that in 1964 he and dad were in the showroom at Joe Holland, and there were two Impala convertibles on the floor. One was yellow, and the other turquoise. Together they decided to each buy one. Dad bought the yellow car. Just on a whim, Jack said. And then he laughed. He and dad had a lot of good times. Our prayers and condolences are with you all.
Kim, Robin and Tina. I’m sorry to hear of your Dads passing away. There’s a lot of good memories of the Pauley clan on the Forks of Coal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. When I think of Jack, I see his golf cart, hat and pipe. Good memories help to make the bad days seem not so bad.
Condolences to the family. Jim, so sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. Thoughts and prayers.
