Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 RIP Jack. So sorry we never got to meet. Was looking forward to fishing on Falcon with you some day. Keep a seat open for me... Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Very sorry to hear about this. Prayers for you and your family Jack in their time of need. He will be missed on my behalf. :'( Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 I think we should make this thread a sticky. This man contributed so much to this forum and his memory and knowledge should be known to everyone who visits this site. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Jack was a great guy and alot of fun. I met him in person one day on Toledo Bend and boy, he could flat out fish. Also, we talked on the phone several times about different things. He will be missed on this forum for sure. Just goes to remind us that fishing isn't exactly the most important thing in life. My life was changed by a T-shirt that said "Life is short, do something". I will pray for Jack's family and more importantly those that are without Christ. I know the rules on posting religious views, but I feel as if I missed a golden opportunity in all the times that I spoke with Jack. I will not go into religious things here, but I will say that any of you can PM me regarding Christianity. I dont claim to know everything, in fact I know very little, but I want my love for God to be shown, even if it is through a computer screen. Quote

Simp Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 My prayers go out to his loved ones. Every day we pull out fish from their world. I'm sure god has just done the same for fishfordollars. Only he's in a far better place. Where every moment is that sun rise peaking over the tree tops while sitting on your favorite hole, but this time with the lord as your co angler. Tight lines my friend and may the winds always blow from the west. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 I think we should make this thread a sticky. This man contributed so much to this forum and his memory and knowledge should be known to everyone who visits this site. yup I was thinking much along these same lines. Maybe starting a "Best of Thread", to highlight some of the over 6,000 posts he made over the years. The man had a unique wit along with an untold amount of knowledge on bass fishing and life in general. Not an exact quote, but what he replied to Senile only a few days ago would be the perfect title: "It's called a plane ticket - The back seat is open!" Quote
aceman387 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Sorry to hear of his passing.Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.His posts and his personality will be missed on here. Quote

I was thinking about Jack's passing a lot yesterday. I went back and re-read that thread. Life is so short and even shorter for some of us. I have spoken with some friendly people on this forum and it makes me realize that I should make more of an effort to meet and fish with some of them. You never know when they could be gone. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I think we should make this thread a sticky. This man contributed so much to this forum and his memory and knowledge should be known to everyone who visits this site. x2 but until then I decided the best way that i could honor his memory is by taking a piece of advice he offered and putting it in the signature line. I think this would be a good thing for us forum members to do to show our support for a man that contributed greatly this forum. Quote

Super User Catt Posted January 21, 2011 Author Super User Posted January 21, 2011 The first time I fished with Jack I left my spinner bait box in his boat, he called me at home and asked of I needed it since he knew I was going back to the lake in 2 days. I told not really since I had all kinds of spinner baits at the camp and he could bring them next trip; Jack says yea but these are some of your favorites. Well the next morning FedEx drops a package off at my house with my spinner bait box in sidehe express shipped them over night...That's the kind of man Jack was! Roll Tide Quote
Carrington Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 He help me a couple times over the past year and i thank him for that. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Oh my gosh. This is horrible. May he rest in peace and catch a 20 lb bass every day in that great bass pond in the sky. My condolences to his family. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 I hadn't seen this thread until RW called me this morning and told me of Jack's death. I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach. Jack was a close friend and a mentor and I will miss him greatly. Rest in peace, my friend. :'( Quote
shootermcbob Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I bought some items from Jack on this site, and we shared a few pm's over different things. I have heard people refer to Jack as sincere, gentleman, honest, giving, forthright, and it is all true. We will miss him. Quote
aarogb Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 This is terrible news. Best wishes to his family and friends. Hope he catches several more lunkers in heaven. Quote
bmadd Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Really really bad news. He was down to earth and didn't try to tell you how good of a fishermen he was you just knew it by how much he helped everybody else and all the knowledge he showed. Always read his posts. I really hate this. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 Crap. This is really bugging me right now. Reminded me of my buddy Roger. Quote
