Jack had a long successful career as a Barber and hair professional. His greatest treasure was his family. He was a man of character and at the same time, he was a character. He was known for his sense of humor and he was never at a loss for words. When he wasn’t cutting hair, he was cutting grass.

The family would like to say a special thank you to Dr. James for his 40 years of care. A special thank you to his grandson, Austin Carter for his love and care that he provided to his grandfather for the last year and a half.
